Soldier
by Ernest A MillerI am a Soldier
In a nation that hates me
But loves the freedoms I grant them
Served by a president that cares less if I die
That cares more about his Skull and Bones
And thinks he will be re-elected
I am a soldier
Supported only by the men to each side but hated
By those in front and all too often by those behind 05/12/2004 Posted on 05/12/2004
