Drew Hoehn - A Soldier

War is no game
It Proves Endurance
It Proves No Fear
It Proves Pride
And Love
And Even Hate
But All In All
It proves a man
And Not a Boy

Handling Firearms
And Making Decisions
Show No Fear and Don’t Let Up
Repeatedly Firing the Gun
Showing No Mercy
No Fear
A Real Man You’ll Be
Not Showing You Know You’ll Die
You Pray Inside it’s Not True
Through Misery and Pain
You’ve Never Given Up

Hand to Hand Combat
A Knife is Pulled Up to His Eyes
A Scream Is Heard From All Around
And it’s the End for Him
It Seems So Dark
To You and Me
But for the Man
Who Fights for His Life
It’s a Normal Day
And Pain and Suffrage
Will Never End
Even When the War Ends
You’ll Be a Scarred
SOLDIER!

As I wrote this here poem I thought of my aunt who fought for the reasons just stated and lived what was just stated. Thank you to all who fight for our freedom and their glory and thank to my aunt.
