Ren's Pen
Boys to Men
A young boy was sent off to war,
Why the all the fighting, what really for?
You seen many of your friends die,
And still you have to wonder why?
Is it worth a single life?
Because two leaders are in strife?
As you left you family and this place,
Will you return with a different face?
When your country decided to call,
You wonder will I come back at all?
Will your family go on with their lives?
When they return will they still have husbands and wives?
Will it change us from being kind?
Will the flashbacks always be in our mind?
Will our hearts be hard as stone?
Will our voices have a different tone?
When we go to fight over there,
Will we ever return back here?
We do not understand why this war has began,
He left as a young boy, he returns a man.
Why the all the fighting, what really for?
You seen many of your friends die,
And still you have to wonder why?
Is it worth a single life?
Because two leaders are in strife?
As you left you family and this place,
Will you return with a different face?
When your country decided to call,
You wonder will I come back at all?
Will your family go on with their lives?
When they return will they still have husbands and wives?
Will it change us from being kind?
Will the flashbacks always be in our mind?
Will our hearts be hard as stone?
Will our voices have a different tone?
When we go to fight over there,
Will we ever return back here?
We do not understand why this war has began,
He left as a young boy, he returns a man.
