war

why?

why fight?

freedom?

whats that?

so many fucking rules these days,

how can we truly be free?

soldiers fighting,

many dying,

kids and wives crying,

freedom denying,

everyone fights not just them,

we all have our own personal wars,

in our own homes,

our lives,

everyday is a battle,

many die with people not knowing them,

i will not be fogotten,

everyone has shine,

soldiers are not the only ones,

we all fight the darkness,

and only our scars survive,

fighting for freedom,

fighting for love,

fighting for peace,

just what the fuck are we fighting for?

im tired of fighting,

living in shadow,

war consumes us,

war dictates to us,

war will test us,

but inevitably war will end us,

are you like me and unafraid to die?

will you let your own war fade or make it shine?

wars never out of season,

but it never has a reason,

we attack each other with guns and knives,

soldiers leave behind heartbroken wives,

we civilians aim at each other,

make fun about each others mother,

toss verbal grenades,

in pain and suffering we serenade,

war tests us all,

even the strongest fall,

i sit back and laugh,

as we destroy each other,

because i know its stupid,

war is never the answer,

yet we are meant to respect it,

a man made destruction,

fuck that,

i know war can be hard,

but why start it and wonder why the titans fall?

dont want them to die?

bring them back,

its easy,

our personal wars are harder,

some hide their pain by tryng to sing,

but just remember a smile doesnt show the trueness of everything....................
