The Unsung Song of a Soldiers Heart

Left right left right

You left home right

You chose sign the dotted line

Now I’m gonna hate you till you learn to love double time

Left right left right

Left right left right

Give everyone everything until there’s nothing left

Right

BOOM BOOM KILL!!

Shoot Move and Communicate

KILL!!

I AM A WARRIOR AND A MEMBER OF A TEAM!

So ship me alone all over the globe

So know one will know what I’ve seen

First lieutenant Ackbar

First Lieutenant Ackbar

…

FIRST LEUTENANT ACKBAR REPORT FOR DUTY!

.

..

…

Captain report!

Sir!

3rd company 2nd platoon all accounted for

3rd company 3rd platoon all accounted for

3rd company 1st platoon one absent without leave

.

..

…

Sir! 1st Lieutenant Ackbar has been killed.

Silence in the concrete halls

No noise dares trespass as heroes tears freely falls

Each of you will file out by platoon.

You may kneel before the folded flag and cross to say adieu

But it’s back to fuckin war before noon

…

No sound

…

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

What was it like???

Have you had bullets fly by your head?

How many did you leave dead?

I almost joined.

I couldn’t deal with a drill sergeant I’d beat his ass.

….

I’m sorry my fellow Americans I know this poem lack rhythm and rhyme but I lost my give a shit to double time.

Don’t you see? The nation has cheapened our service and set us up to lose, a failure if you get out hole and only heroes come home in flags…

Not that that fuckin matters too

People kneel by the score

Tattered flags hang limp at dark under no light

We can’t sing our anthem or pledge allegiance because someone is more right.

My brother blood bought Arabian oil, heroin, cocaine, and Chinese chips.

How can I be so jaded? How the fuck do you think Burger King got there!

So no I’m a veteran in love with an undead nation

Don’t try to empathize all I feel is patronized

What? Why did your friend commit suicide? Aren’t soldiers supposed to be brave?

What the FUCK would you do if your only value was to kill monsters and uncle same double timed the human out of you?

22 32 40+ a day

Why do the bravest men and women die this way?

Because we’d rather lead sheep to the slaughter then let the sheep dog earn his keep..after all a dog can smell a wolf from a sheep…
