war

Conscript me to the cause.
If there's no soul in this body,
no brain in this head,
then do so without pause.
Give me a gun.
Show me to shoot,
show me the kill,
let my bloodlust run.
Send me from home.
Ship me to deserts,
ship me to swamps,
wherever the bullets roam.
Order me to town.
Make sure my finger itches,
make sure I have no conscience,
see if I burn them down.
Assign me a dog tag.
Let it have my number,
let it have my name,
leave it on my body bag.

Great write
this is more about vietnam right? thats what it sounds like but i guess it is true for any war and the truth is is shouldnt happen they should only send thepeople who believe in the war because if they dont it causes more trauma for their death and it is really sad that all the men in the army are is a number on a dog tag nothing more i wish we could fix these things about our country.
