I am beyond tired @ this point?
I haven't slept for weeks!
I have been up for 48 hours
I have been living in a hollow ditch?
It seems like a life time to me
All I hear are gun shoots, boom drops?
All I see are smoked filled clouds in blood strouds
We at war but who asked?
We are in no mans land with foot pads
I killed a kid today?
I am a dad too?
What do I say if I am gagged
Was this kid the enemy?
I shot him dead from across the street
I went closer to look?
He had a white flag by his foot
His right eye was gone?
He had a hole in his head from my gun
I pulled off my Army shirt in through it over his face
I wanted to pay homage!
I wanted to save his young soul through my grace
It wasn't about race I tell myself?
Its all these lies I hear for some ones name sake!
My President left us hear to defend ourselves?
While he dictates whom we should kill!
KILL BILL!
Who the fuck cares?
Who die for a silent lie!
I tried to be Patriotic?
But all I became was in assistant to narcotics
I cant stand to hear a door slam?
I can't eat spam out the can?
I am missing a leg, my vision is going bad
The VA treated me?
But my symptoms are much deeper!
I need a month to sleep away the last year
I don't want to wake up screaming know more!
I don't want to drink away my life anymore?
I ran off my wife?
She caught me with a whore
I told her I don't know why I did it?
I said she reminded me of the face of war?
In why I relive it every day
Why I hate war @ the same time!
Why that kid had to lie?
The reason I said to my self was?
Why my son had to die!
Why do we kill others in call it a war crime?
I live everyday free of war?
I live with my whore
I still drink away my life?
I miss my wife!
She was right about one thing?
War killed me inside!
Inside my cryptic mind?
I declare war
