PTSD 4

Give peace a cchance 

Make peace not war

 

That is my call

Unlike most

Who shout those words

I have been in combat 

I have seen the hell

That is hell

 

Marching across the field 

Crawling through trenches 

Shooting 

Killing 

All in the name of freedom 

 

Yes, that was me

Watching my friends die 

Watching whole cities burn 

Watching cars explode 

Watching tanks

Plow across the land

 

The ravages of war

Are not only that

Which can be seen 

There are emotional scares 

That thread throughout 

Mind

Body

Soul

One\'s mental and emotional 

State streched to the limit 

And far beyond 

 

So now I speak out for peace 

For I have been there 

I wish for no one else 

Should enter that hell\'s gate
