just thought you should know...

Contributed by reprobate on Friday, 16th September 2005 @ 09:08:54 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief

remembering my leaving the sticks all in a row
i thought, like crayons in a box, don't you know
the pretty brass and buttons do show
it's to make you a team, don't you know
all decked out to fight, so off you go
destiny awaits you, don't you know
you're too poor, even if you realize, so
going to defend the rich, don't you know
momma cried and daddy wouldn't, don't you know
they've given up, don't you know
last to chance to know their child, an all-time low
their baby will never return, don't you know
the body may survive the hate and bullets, though
but mind certainly will not, don't you know
be afraid, no matter if it's not your time to go
the dollared will have his way, don't you know
his child will remain safe behind the dough
your mind and body will keep it so, don't you know
your friends now dying will be quite a blow
daddy's child is late for tennis, don't you know
it's for a better life for all, THEY said so
but when was it ever yours, do you know

A Very touching write. The repetition was just right and the messgae itself - incredibly powerful, moving and simply heart-wrenching. I love it, and of course, I agree. Thanks for sharing.
