A Soldier Once Just A Man Forever Poem by Kevin Campbell

Im obviously not good enough
Thats the way they look at me
I wonder what there thinking
Just what it is they see

If I could get into their minds
Maybe I could make them see
Im only a man
there no better than me

I wonder if they only knew
Of the trouble and sacrafice
Of the loss of friends to unholy wars
In defence of politicians lies

But Im proud I wore that uniform
Of the trouble and sacrafice
Proud I lived my life that way
Doing a job that they despise
