A soldier and a brother forever

war

A little girl sits in her room crying
Depressed on how many are dying
She asks out loud isn’t it strange?
How quickly everything can change?
It was just a month ago we got the call
It was for my brother the whole time he stood tall
He was told he was being sent to war
And that I might not see him anymore
My parents wept that entire night
My brother was packing by candle light
He thought I was asleep but all night a prayed
I will always remember how I was so afraid
We drove for miles in the pouring rain
Before I knew anything my brother boarded a plane
Without a goodbye he flew away
I waited for him to return every single day
Our house seemed empty with out him near
The next few days I woke up my fear
I met a man that said he was a soldier for the war
I asked so many questions and he told me not to explore
But eventually his words spill out and jolted me awake
He told me how war spills blood out like a flowing lake
How thousands of innocent are killed without thought
How you would be painfully killed if you were caught
He told me why he wasn’t there anymore
He refused to kill a family in the war
He was shot in the knees and left to die
But a boy cared for him till the blood ran dry
The family got the call that he was coming home
The little girl was so happy she would no longer be alone
The boy got off the plane looking for familiar faces
He watched his friends finding their family and warm embraces
He looked around as a TV caught his eye
He listened as he fell to his knees and began to cry
There had been a bombing in a small town
He knew the place well his heart was sinking down
That was his home the war had taken everything away
All through the next week he was overtaken with dismay
A month later the boy stands in front of a plane
The other soldiers glaring at him with undying disdain
Only one more year of being treated like a slave
One more year till he can visit his family’s grave
No matter what the cost he promised to never kill another soul
He is always haunted by the lives that he stole
With one last glance at everything that was taken away
He turns his back and wills himself to stay strong another day

You told of a sad story very well within your beautiful words. This really did make me shed a few tears, I felt the sadness within.
