Fighting in a place we don't belong
No ones knows for how long
So much fear in their eyes
Car bomb explodes, hear the cries
Blood and bodies on the ground
Help from everyone in town
Sirens whaling down the streets
Climbing over pieces of concrete
Standing guard at a place of death
Knowing that no one is safe
Cross around my neck, keeping faith
Arabic language I can't understand
So much sadness in this land
Shoes and blood on the ground
An eerie silence all around
Why are we here in this place
You can see the anger on their faces
We are in a place we don't belong
In the distance prayer and song
Its time to leave this place

Thanks TERESA this poem echos a lot of peoples inability to understand why a Country engages in WARFARE when and where we do ~ FIGHTING IN A PLACE WE DON'T BELONG etc etc. This is a very challenging poem. In the SECOND WORLD WAR ~ millions of lives were lost millions were injured and the history of the whole World was changed. If the UK and her Allies had not fought to the death against the THIRD REICH and Her Allies ~ I believe the World today would be in a much worse state than it is' . When War is declared we must trust our Leaders and Politicians and answer the call ! Ours not to reason why ~ ours just to do and die ........... Because of the inhumanity of Man to Man ~ War is inevitable in every generation Thanks for sharing ~ LOVE ~ BRIAN
