War and Everything About It

Contributed by UnlovedChild on Tuesday, 16th November 2004 @ 12:52:38 AM in AEST
Topic: war



Thinking of our country,
How people die for the USA.
Can you really say,
"I'm proud to be an American?
I know I can't.
I'm not proud of what we've done,
Are soldiers really protecting our country?
Do people die for us?
Do we really have freedom?
What does war bring us other than death?
Peace is what people say,
But peace is one thing we don't have.
War is for peace,
But how can we win and then want more?
Where is the peace?

Well, I like this one, and you've managed to dig up so many aspects of strong debates that I doubt will ever be solved. Excellent write.

Take Care

Hey girl, I have to dissagree on this one... War is rarely ever for peace. And yes we do have many freedoms we have our soldiers to thank for. And if there was no death there would be over population. War is a neccesary evil. And there are many missions our soldiers do go on that you don't hear about that do protect us. Like busting drug ships in the waters... and things of that nature. You know I love ya girl, so no offese meant here. I am just married to the military and was raised by a die hard Marine. But I see where you are coming from and it is a place of love in your heart. So in that sense it is a good poem with good intentions!.
