Long Over Due Poem by AHO Speaks

That is the way it is but they have never lost one of their own
A young full of life handsome son; who never came back home
We drape our dead warriors as names on stone
Cold, cold bodies; who never came back home.

Pestilence, disease and accidents that occur
But to lay in the soil without ever again; touching her
Since time began man has been the procurer of war
Even unto, 'thy shall not kill'; part of their holy law.


Certainly its not easy but we should always try
Why do we insist on putting up with the liie?
.I have never heard a public apology to what happened to these son's
The very brave; who went down, firing their guns.

I wouild gladly provide the expression that is long over due
Forgive this nation; forgive me; and forgive us; as we do miss you.
We know that our God has you within
That you do truly have happiness and comfort with him.

That you made the supreme sacrifice without being asked
To accomplish an unforgivable human task
We can only commemorate you as the warriors of the past
Thank God for the sacrifice; but the peace did not last.

We will do more effort to end wars than to begin
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you; and our lives are grim
Help us to help those who will come before
Help us to unlock and find the answers behind the door.
