Written by me for our boys over in Iraq and Afghanistan. "God Bless Our Troops" Tell me what u thInk please ?

Question

SOLDIER

The sand is stained with blood again

In a war you know we just cant win

So tell me when will peace begin

I ask this question to you my friend...

Cuz boys are sent over there to die

For a war you know is just a lie

And tell me why must mothers cry

As the tears shed now from the eagles eye...

From the recoil ring in a twenty one gun

While the trumpet taps under the sun

And those now left have come undone

I ask you now who’s really won?..

(CHORUS)

Soldier true in the far off land

A candle is lit for you tonight

Death in sight and blood in hand

A prayer is said for you tonight

Battle scars for red white and blue

Now coming home without a clue

Paid the price and lost a crew

Nightmare dreams and a bad tattoo...

It’s eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

From a twisted con in a tangled truth

Ever simple is the cunning sleuth

Gambling the lives of Americas youth...

As bullets shred from the big gun blast

Wars the show and their the cast

The expense of life now so d**n vast

Written down in forever’s past...

(CHORUS)

Soldier true in the far off land

A candle is lit for you tonight

Death in sight and blood in hand

A prayer is said for you tonight

Answer 1

umm.. Maybe you should send them something more inspiring instead of asking for peace and telling them they might die..

Answer 2

I think you really wanted to inspire while pushing a little bit of political view and pessimism however.  I think it is good but you need to choose to either inspire people or highlight the roughness of this war and the tole it is taking on our country and the young men and women serving in the armed forces. I do not feel that you can do both. Try to shift your focus to one or the other and I think you will come up with something brilliant.
