A heart was lost along the way

A loved one fell in combats way

Why should each one have to pay

The debts of those from far away

Keep the dust from off your face

And pray to see a different place

Feels like minds have been erased

And no loved ones can be replaced

In these times of tragedy

When hate is banging at your knees

Keep your pride and faith in thee

In hopes that we can all be free

All be free.

First off, I know I'm inundating you with comments, but I totally owe you. I haven't been reading stuff much at all. How could I abandon ~Bambushka? You're my dA girl, no kidding.

Freedom. Is that what we fight for? And what kind of freedom at that--political freedom, personal freedom...freedom from spiritual things that we can't break free of on our own? Freedom from war? Freedom from fighting for the soldier--that he just wants to go home. Perhaps winning freedom for other peoples earns him his freedom from his ties of service.

This poem is simple enough in statement. But it's thought-provoking. And the rhyme is lovely. It just adds to the simple sentences instead of enjambment.
