[title] => THE TROOPS: SO MUCH TO THANK THEM FOR...

[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => It’s only a matter of time Right now the troops are staying loyal For one reason or another But sooner or later that’s going to spoil These brave men and women have done their best Sent on a mission backed by lies Bloodied, battered and traumatized Still they keep going as another dies So much loyalty to brothers and sisters there Afraid to speak out of turn They just keep on going hoping for an end And that their leaders will start to learn Each day brings tears and torture in full Always more death, destruction and fear They keep their heads down and do the job Some now in their second year For now they stay silent and just do what they’re told It seems the only choice But when they get home hopefully safe and sound THEN you’ll hear their voice If you have any decency you will listen to them They won’t be telling you lies Don’t start calling them names Or sneering that you despise What you see as disloyalty to president or to flag They have earned every bit of respect from you Don’t try their words to gag You’ll see the truth of this war Written in their sad eyes Bush sent them to this mission With just a bunch of lies Listen as they tell you Of how it all went wrong At first it seemed easy But that never lasted long Listen to their story It will surely grip your heart How Bush has created hell Of lives just torn apart Listen quietly and gentlly These men will be full of pain Hold them closely next to you As their tears fall down like rain A Pandora’s Box is opened Never to close again All this is down to Bush Not these courageous men In time we will ALL hear What now is kept so hidden Bush will be seen for what he is No longer truth forbidden An inept and weak leader will stand exposed One who lied and schemed for war And we will salute once more the gallant troops And have SO much to thank them for...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
