SCARS

Spirits strong, boots on the ground
Soldiers patrolling from town to town
Bullets firing from unknown places
Soldiers get down in tight spaces
Medic!!Medic is what you hear
Soldiers injured help is near
Bodies on the ground screaming in pain
Soldiers survived but scars remain
Missing limbs, damaged minds and faces
Scars that keep them from going places
Family, friends and warm embraces
Bodily scars over time will heal
Mental scars make it difficult to feel
Returning to normal life doesn't seem real
Spirits fractured will slowly mend
Taking time to remember their friends
Spirits strong, boots on the ground
Soldiers return home and turn lives around
Scars are there and they are real
Pain they are told don't conceal
Battle scars will remain at his headstone you kneel
Let out all the pain you feel

Very well described. What is the answer? Perhaps there is not one. Like all the terrible things in life like racism, bigotry and abuse, sometimes there is nothing that takes away the memory and the hurting.
