The mind is the camra, the eyes are the lens,
Freezing momments in time, storing them in the back of your mind,
Some good, some bad, there's a reason for each one we have,
Bosnia 1998, a mass burial site, about 150 people lost their life,
The smell of decay, bodies taddered and frayed,
Bosnia 1998, Cpl. Gramroth a good friend, his life came to an end,
His casket covered in Old Glory, I render a salute as he goes home early,
Ft, Hood 1996, another friend hit by a car, the killer never put behind bars,
Bosnia 1999, a bullet just misses my head, one false move and I'd be dead,
The spider webbed glass, death can happen so damn fast,
Korea 2002, two little girls ran over by a tank,
Riots and protest erupt in hate,
Korea 2003, North Korea starts the nucaler reactors,
Full alert, weapon in hand, staring at my enemies flag, just two miles ahead,
Ft. Carson 2002, a night club stabbing, a soldier is dead,
A puddle of blood, hard to tell where the stab wound was,
The memories are harsh, the visions unforgettable,
Each one burned deep in my mind, and you ask why,
Photographs like these, would drive a nomal man insane,
You still wonder why I do what I do, I do this..... for you.
Forever Faithful
