Was My Death In Vain?

I was sniped in the head, was my death in vain?
Is there any reason that I went through that pain?
I see the replay over and over in my head,
Trying to comprehend that I really could be dead.
I was just riding in a hummer through a cloud of dust,
Then I heard BOOM as Charlie shot through the truck.
The bullet struck me and lodged in my brain.
My friends rushed me to the nearest plane.
Immediately I was flown to Washington D.C.
Where nurses and doctors looked after me.
I laid in that bed for a total of two weeks
Until I heard the heart machine stop its beeps.
Everything was silent, and then turned black
As I lay motionless on my back.
I heard the doctor say, Im sorry Mrs. Smith hes gone.
Hes left this world and has went home.
I heard my mother as the tears rolled down her face
I hope hes at least in a better place.
The question is What did I die for?
Whats the real point in fighting this war?
I wonder if its really making Bush glad
To know that he is killing Americans to impress his dad.
Id like to see him strap up and go fight.
I bet he wouldnt last one night.
But instead hes allowing the killing of my friends.
When is this stupid thing ever going to end?
There is no reason we should be going through this pain
Maybe someone else will realize that my death was in vain.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICHAEL A. SMITH. Rest In Peace man. Ill meet up with you one day, and we can go back to hanging out like we used to. You'll always be in my heart.

Excellent poem, a fine tribute.
PS in the 4th stanza last line 'he's left this world and has went home' maybe you could use 'returned' instead of 'went'. regards Jeff |
