hiya folks!... this is for veterans against iraq war... (for vaiw and all folks against that war)...

in the conflicts of an individual...
in the fights of a family...
in the scuffles of a neighborhood...
in the battles of a country...
and in the wars of a world!...

loyal young lie moments from... those fighting steps to death...
under names instilled within their brains... to have them 'be their best'...
they looked ahead from days now dead... insurance sold to youth...
invincible their young eyes saw... till blood men showed them truth...
how different front lines change the mind... from boot camps stamping 'follow me'...
when seeing skies through other eyes... becomes a lie in infantry...
surviving skills put to the test... in battles on his soul...
whip the dread of 'kill the rest'... which made the soldier whole...
lessons wrought when preachers taught... those kids their golden rule...
sneak outside from where they hide... like questions meant to fool...
down-sized arrows pierce inside... and hit the bull's-eye knot...
as leaking veins collapse in pain... leaving open wounds to rot...
what's left tides over soldier's time... treading water on a wave...
in seas of big shots' apathy... for finding ways to save...
false towers built by self-made power... crumble neath their spell...
of 'right is might' by some men's light... held in that height from hell...
tales tell them... 'do it well... as those before you did'...
while memories of old sympathies... emerge from where they hid...
the enemy's sight of family ties... gets beaten up by second-thoughts...
as faces lose the human race... when saving grace is the guy who lost...
blood lines to what's left behind... back in someone's home...
let the despair of not being there... drip on dying bones...
the war within the soldier's core... strips life from broken seed...
what they go through... for who knows who... is the paradox of deeds!...

in the conflicts of an individual...
in the fights of a family...
in the scuffles of a neighborhood...
in the battles of a country...
and in the wars of a world!...

(spare a prayer for folks everywhere!)...

heartfelt wishingwells to each'n'all!... :)
