Garotte Wire Sale He's Off To War, I'm Stuck At Home. What Do I Do?

He's off to war, I'm stuck at home. What do I do? - garotte wire sale

"Prayer for My Soldier"

Your music
tears
Gods

but it will be replaced
Piano keys
Balls;
Strings
Stick with son.

If only
could take place.
They were not
Blood.
There was no
Peace.

Where are you,
Little Brother?
Do
Wash your songs
in the desert.

Author's note: My brother is now officially in Iraq, near Baghdad. As far as I know, is the 82nd Airborne Division and attached. It was his first mission yesterday, as a gunner guarding a convoy. The last shot did not do it well, and know that everything we do. Please join me in wishing them well and they want their homeland.

His lyrics are really touching! Above all, "not for blood, I was not made for peace." How many of these young people are forced to know against this senseless war against their natural "fight!? And how many people really, the essence of a person, unless very close to that?"

Here I present an offer to the young at heart, is not yet fully tested the beauty of life, and forced into the middle of the ugliness ... by whom?

I hope and wish him and everyone like him, are safe and home soon!

im sorry that HES in Iraq ... I also have family in Iraq ... So I feel ur pain! Too bad ... I wish him all the best .... UR poem is very touching, I especially like ur the second verse ... I think thats what its called ... idk ... "But replacing him with balls piano keys, strings with the stick on ..." That was very exciting ... I am a musician, even if these words were taken very seriously .... I loved this poem!
