Leland Wright - Militant

All the soldiers can think on is the sweet taste of victory
Can’t show hatred for the soldiers they defend this country
Only thing I feel for is the fallen ones not knowing their history
Don’t know about Bush his undeniable lies
Denounces peace and let the slugs fly
He let’s the casket fall slowly as the family cries
Petitions need to be signed so we can crush this elite defense
But I believe in change with Obama may do so…but war still intense
Writing wrongs can’t be done by watching the sky
We need to make a change before any more families cry
If this occurs despite my age I’ll try
No longer can’t hide in the trenches
Or watch the war on the other side of fences
Can’t flinch at the guns and run as the length of war stretches
Can’t be scared to walk to stop people from dying in Iraq
We haven’t even fixed home yet our country suffers from a heart attack
I can’t promise a change will be made
But I can promise that this country heart will stay intact and not fade
Won’t fade in the dark abyss or be burned in polluted acid rain
Rather run through the rain unscathed and carry on through the pain
Through this bewildering, strange, and crazed world we can make it through this faze
