A crying soldier...
Muddy water runs between our boots
The tears run through my heart
Mam, say everything will be ok
I can see your open arms in my dreams
The fear to run home but I can't
My friend is brave with no pain
My hand shakes with the cold wind
My friend hurts but shows a different face
A frozen finger makes me not kill
A smile, look or touch, all of this makes me human
Every chance I get i will cry
The day is going to sleep but I still see lighted weapons
Every chance I get i will cry for you
Dear mam, I'm writing this to let you know your son is alive but not well
Read this and open your arms wide
I've seen friends die, I've felt too Much pain
So I'm coming home for your shoulder and smile
My friend was brave with no pain
My hands were shaking with the cold wind
My friend hurt but showed a different face
I knew that I could not kill
I'm a crying soldier and proud
Every chance I get i will cry
I'm human and my pain is real
I will cry for you... Xx

Brilliant story Wayne, the pain of war I think will resonate with humans for all eternity.
Thanks very much Gerard, you're very true in that because as long as there is power there will always be war, therefore so much pain will still be around.
As long as there is humans there will be war. I enjoyed this.

Thanks very much Lodigiana, you say nice things about my writing it's very much appreciated, I wrote one last night "Dementia do I know you" that one is very touching, thanks again for your kind words x
Not to mention many soldiers in WWI and WWII had trouble shooting and killing another human being and purposely missed.....
Drill Sargeants turn civilians into soldiers....and then there is no tranistioning counseling or group work to help them become civilians again.....
-which would help explain why 17 Vets kill themselves everyday.
It is called PTSD and "moral injury." Thank God groups are popping up for vets to get healing for such things. JCG
