 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Our Kin Are Going To War…


Our kin are going to war…
Looking out for our backs,
Looking over our shoulders,
To save us from attacks!

Our kin are going to war…
To try to put things right,
Every day its strife and stress,
Every day another fight!

Our kin are going to war…
To strive and strive again,
To try and bring about peace…!
And end all this awful pain!

Our kin are going to war…
They risk life and limb,
All to bring about peace,
So the fight they need to win.

Our kin are going to war,
They might not return,
Mindless death and injury,
And for what, they'll never learn!

Again and again they send our kin,
Send them off for war…
Can anyone ever comprehend…?
What all this fighting's for?

So prayers and thoughts to every one,
Keep them in your heart,
For the time will tell if all will be well,
Then maybe we can see a new start.

Fingers on the buttons,
Always there will be a fool,
Who will bring forth pain and sorrow!
And death both needless and cruel!

Will they ever learn?
Will we ever know peace?
Will we never see the day?
Will we ever see war cease?

Lets Hope So!

May God Bless And Protect Them All
