A day in 2001
A day when a father would no longer recognize his own son
Memories of past, how joyfull he was
Now full of nothing but sadness and disgust
He had lost the only one
For she had died too young, it was not her time, yet it had come
And on this day she would not be the only one
Endless days spent in despair
His life was now heading no where

This is not the person he should be
Now the joyous boy his friends and family had once known
Had grown a heart of stone
Days of thought had lead to one decision
He would join the 1st infantry division
His friends begged and pleaded
"Don't do this man, we don't want to lose you too"
Yet he only responded
"This is something I must do"

Today he packed what little he would need
For they would supply him with what he must have to succeed
Saying his goodbyes supressing the sound of his mothers cries
He could not look them in the eye's
His fathers last words would remain forever
"Revenge is not the way, but if this is what you must do then for you I will pray."

Today he would start his journey to become the few and the proud
He would remain true to what he had vowed
Months of training new skills he was obtaining
And new friendships he was gaining
For they arrived as individuals and now had become one
An unbreakable team working together to accomplish what must be done

He never thought his life would lead here
A foreign land full of war and fear
Always looking over his shoulder
Forever uneasy it is here he would grow older

A battlefield of bullets astray and blood spray
It is this day that he would lay down another friend and pray
Yet the sadness did not stay for he was now used to death taking those he loved this way
Everyday he fought on for never losing the force that drove him
And everyday he would commit another sin

Now injuries sustained he would say his goodbyes once again
Only now it was to his new found friends
He would return home to a new life unknown
And every day he would pray for his sins to atone
Slowly his heart of stone sheds away to what he had once known

Thank you for the welcome Herb Ninja. Appreciate it.

Im glad it inspired you. I wrote it partiatly to get some things off my chest but also to help others realise that war is usually not the answer. It only makes things worse.

P.S. I was recently introduced to the plant we all know and love, it has truly helped me through some tough times. I only wish I had been intorduced to it years ago.

Tolerance is an unfortunate side effect from smoking marijuana, the later you start the more high you will get in the future. Don't be regretful about not finding it earlier or believing the propaganda about it when you were young, now is the time to embrace it, enjoy it, love it. Keep it discreet, wouldn't want you to get caught.

Please do visit the other forums, world in crisis often has some hardcore political debates, the music and gaming forums are good places to talk about related hobbies, and the places and people forum has a thread about getting to know eachother better, I recomend you search that one out and post there.

Ohh and I recomend you check out THIS link, lets just say its a must see.

Cool poem man, It's remembrance day today and it seemed to fit kind of with the theme of today. Wierd, I didn't notice this earlier. Almost like some wierd cosmic timing.

<~>

Yah, don't worry about not finding it earlier, everything happens at the right time for the right reason. Almost like me not finding this around when it was posted

Thats an awesome poem though.
