Another Day in the World Before Us

Contributed by martyrofevil on Thursday, 14th September 2006 @ 03:47:09 PM in AEST
Topic: war

They march in by night,
Lightning fast they take our lives,
Will we be here tomorrow,
To see another day come and pass,

You fight to remain,
You fight to die,
Is this really our purpose,
To end the lives of our foes,

(A nation we don’t know)

We have to spill the blood,
But we can’t stain the floor,

Carry the torch,
Carry on the torture,
Carry your loved and bury your dead,
If you fall you’re forgotten,
If you rise you stand alone,
Do we fight or be fought,
Do we kill or be killed,
The decision is yours,

If you survive,
You don’t deserve this life,
Black hawks are the murder,
In this game we call life,

We have to spill the blood,
But we can’t stain the floor,
Carry the torch,
Carry on the torture,
Carry your loved and bury your dead,
If you fall you’re forgotten,
If you rise you stand alone,
Do we fight or be fought,
Do we kill or be killed,
The decision is yours,

We have to spill the blood,
But we can’t stain the floor,

Will this torture ever end?
Will we survive this life we’ve made?
Will the heavens except our sins?
Will they forgive us for another day?

Your poem is very well written and powerful. If I am interupting correctly you are writing about being a soldier in war (Iraq?). The emotions expressed and evoked are compelling. And you are not ever forgotten.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
