THEY SEND OUR YOUNG OFF TO THEIR WARS

To the wars they send our young ,
Full of bravado they fill them ,

They that return , never talk ,
Of what they saw ,
Or of they did ,

They are not who we waved goodbye ,
And hugged ,

They are oh so quiet , withdrawn ,
In a world of terrifying memory's ,
That we who never went can never be apart of ,

They that come back strangers now to us ,
We will never know who he or she is ,

Those who sent them off too war ,
Have no shame of what they do ,
Been sending our young off to war ,
Fore life times now

So true Ken. Thank you for realizing that our country's send away those who seek adventure, and find horror. Their war lives forever in their hearts and minds.
