I kiss my wife,
the start of another day,
off to work,
all is OK.
I see my neighbor as I walk out the door,
he waves hello as I walk to my car.
another beautiful day, I thought to myself,
then a lawnmower backfires,
and bang, back in hell.
I hit the floor.
"This is Bravo company to blue leader,
we are under fire, repeat under fire!"
I yell,
I scream,
"return fire! return fire!"
"O'ryley's dead" echos in my ears,
visions of legless corpses reappear.
"There are body's everywhere!" I hear,
but again," return fire!" I yell.
I crawl through my trench, trying to radio command,
"blue leader, blue leader, am I getting through?"
crawling over body's, that used to be my friends,
I think to myself,"This is not how it ends!"
I Fight,
climb,
scream,
"Take that hill!, men!"
As we charge at our enemy,
a big flash of light,
I see my neighbor's face, he asks "hey, are you all right?"
For as I look around, and see, my house, my car, my wife,
I Lay here,
in the middle of the road,
remembering another life.
Help.
