Iraq
by Ernest A MillerCrazy mixed up emotions,
Pride, fear, foreboding.
All of this for a Neo-CON crusade in disguise.
I joined to protect my family,
To protect all of you.
Not to be put in harms way in a distant land.
When did American security expand beyond our borders to include israhell?
Cause of a two thousand year old revenge scheme?
Or something much more sinister?
It sickens me to my core.
To feel this helpless should be a crime.
But who can protect the willing?
The volunteers that fight now,
For the lives of their brothers and sisters.
Called on to do the same stupid deed,
To pacify Iraq for the stolen "Greater israhell".
And we'll pray everyday that we will all make it back. 04/25/2005 Author's Note: Say a little prayer would ya?
