Soldiers

Soldiers on the news everyday,
people dying on the streets,
bombs exploded killing millions,
sweets innocent children on dying.

Mommy its on the news,
i can't help to watch,
mommy daddy went to war,
what will we do if he gets shot?

When is he coming home?
he promised he'd be back soon,
mommy why?why mommy?why?
how come daddy had to leave to fight?

Kids are out there cutting their wrists,
listening to depressing music.
mommy whats happening?
everyone is becoming a clone of each other.

Mommy no one can write a poem,
without one of their loved ones dying.
mommy im writing this to daddy,
i hope he still loves me.

Daddy's getting sent to sweden,
im going after him,
i dont him leaving without me,
i wanna go so i can keep him safe.

Daddy's on the phone mommy,
let me talk to him,
tell him i love him,
tell him i can't wait to see him.

Mommy I'm watching the news,
daddy's picture comes up on the screen,
saying one of our soldiers is currently being treated.
For an opened womb someone better help him before i explode.

Daddy didn't make it home,
he died before i could even talk to him over the phone,
mommy help me!
my wrists are bleeding!

Why didn't daddy die?
Long before his time?!
Did god do this for a reason?!
Does God hate me mommy?! Fucking tell me!

I wish i had a gun,
i'd put it to my brain,
I'd do it for daddy,
thats all i want is to be with my daddy.

Soldiers at daddy's grave,
they're firing guns into the air,
mommy why? why did it have to daddy under that coffin?
why couldn't it be me?I would gladly take his place so he relive his life.

Daddy's gone now and I'm 23,
fighting in a war that was never meant to be,
in honor to my dad who wanted his son to be like him,
well he got it cause look where im at.

Fighting,killing,running,screaming,crying and saving children,
thats my job as a soldier how would you feel if it was you out here?
I can't see my kids or wife I'm stuck here for life,
please tell my family i miss them and ill always be with them.

I hold Kim's picture,
kiss it and whisper I love her,
I hold sherrie's necklace,
keeping it safe in my pocket.

I turn around to see people running,
toward the evergreen tree's.
I take off too thinking of them as i do,
i cock my gun and start shooting.

This is a soldier who wanted to be like his dad,
to have his name on a metal for fighting until his last breath,
Kim and Sherrie going through my mind,
as I lie there bleeding and dying.

Mom,Kim and Sherrie crying over my grave,
mom looks over beside mine and looks at dad's,
tears pouring down her eyes.
She hug's my family and keeps them safe.

Two soldiers died fighting for their country,
a father and son who were exactly a like,
here they lie next to each other,
now they can be together forever.

Mom swears when she looks in her mirror,
she see's dad and i look back at her,
with our guns in our hands and dressed in our uniforms,
starring at her with depressed looks on our face but we;re together.

Then we turn around and disappear,
I swear mom your not seeing things,
walking away running to fight,
fight for our country for eternal life.
