'' Those Flag Draped Coffins ''

Who can we talk to is there anyone there,

why won't you listen does nobody care,

when we arrived here we were full of zest,

it was our sole intention to do our best.


To achieve that goal takes the will of a nation,

we need them on our side the entire population,

but as time's moved on they have drifted away,

we are seen as, ‘' the enemy ‘' we no longer hold sway.


Their tactics against us are so underhand,

yet our powers that be just can't understand,

you can only help people if they want your assistance,

but what we have here  is total resistance.


Someone is arming them with their weapons of woe,

they're a constant threat a formidable foe,

the streets are unsafe of trust there's a lack,

drop your guard for a second you'll be shot in the back.


We are fighting an enemy that's morally corrupt,

we are in a volcano that's about to erupt,

their views on life are the opposite of ours,

they murder us for fun while their attitude sours.



They claim they're religious but God would be dismayed,

I doubt he'd approve of their genocide trade,

the west have been trying for hundreds of years,

to give them democracy all that's done is bring tears.


The Russians have tried but their mission failed,

they finally gave up their intentions derailed,

the time has now come for us to pull out,

we are dying for nothing of that there's no doubt.


They don't want our assistance it's a thankless task,

so why are we here is the question we must ask

please let us come home we are just being taunted,

would you like to remain in a place you're not wanted.


The murder of our forces only proves what I'm saying,

they don't want our help for our blood they are baying,

their  government is corrupt as are the army and police,

this proves beyond reason they want war not peace.


This conflict is futile there's too many of us dying,

these people detest us while our relatives are left crying,

would someone enlighten our political boffins,

that it's time for an and end to,

‘' Those Flag Draped Coffins ‘'
