was a sigh
afternoon and the soldiers came here
"Quiet
older children and younger people will have to fight "Tremble
gun in my hand
shot eyes closed Random
stray bullet that kills any innocent yearning for peace with
Who do
If I fight in my short life there resentment?
Who do I fight
To live life faith and love?
Juan, you must shut
This is a war you do not forget
John, try to forget
that girl, peace arrive home
years in prison
I'm a coward not want to kill our soldiers say
won the war, peace reborn
back to my small town people
smiles,
passing whispers "Look
cowardly young man who turns his back instead of fighting" I leave with regret
things I'd gotten up and just live here no more
up the hill
dreaming that one day I can return
