war
18 years ago
yesterday they said the war was over,
but daddy was late coming home,
why doesn't he hug my mother,
he just sits there cold as a stone,
i tried to talk
but he wouldn't answer,
he just sat there
looking at the floor,
i told him dad
whats the matter?
he told me about the sight of war,
he said..
boy don't you go fighting for them
they give you a gun and say go kill,
we fought for days
killing people
we fought for days
upon a hill.....
my mother started to cry,
but he kept staring straight.
why honey ....?
he wouldn't let her say
it was hell there boy
dont you go fighting
he sat there for hours
there he kept repeating...
i think hes broken mother
a slap to my face
i tried to help
man i hate this place....
its hell her now
thanks to the war..
years passed
as he looked at the floor..................................
im a man now
my dad still there...
ill be off to war
and he got off that chair...
he said boy good luck..solder!
saluted me and grabbed my shoulder.
sun dont die for this land
your mother and me
will give you a hand...
i looked him in the eye
and said ill be going now,
ill end this ,
not like you..but somehow.......
