War Poem of the Week

A soldiers eyes

 
 

To look into a soldiers eyes, the window to their soul

Look out from the inside of their mind and see horrors never told

You say we are just killers, its not that plain you see

Take a walk inside my boots, and see what I have seen

Many innocent lives taken, and soldiers there were some

Giving their lives freely to get the job done

The last cold stare of death, we see in our buddies eyes

They fought for all your freedom, this is why we die

Some wonder why we fight to protect the nation, and maybe lose our life

Ask this question to a soldier, the answers in his eyes

Always we will be here waiting, the call we wont deny

We'll always fight for freedom, never asking why

We'll go away to far off lands, leaving our loved ones behind

Many times we are alone, several times inside

Open the windows to our souls, see the tears we hide

Secrets we cannot keep, are in a soldiers eyes
