For our comfort, we who have never witnessed war
we, who have never been far away from home
we, who sit secure in America
we, with out endless list of complaining about the trivial things in life...
we know little about sacrifice
...to stand boldly for the freedom of our fellow man
we, who so blatantly say: "stop this senseless war"
look deep....
deep in the eyes of a soldier
he, (or she)
who having no sleep
or just a couple of meals in two days
they, who sweat blood while watching their fellow soldiers drop one by one, beside them
no bath, no basic hygiene in weeks
traveling barren landscapes, while watching endless ememy soldiers attempting to kill them
and as you sit there reading this..
imagine...
the eyes of a soldier
deep in the eyes of a soldier
let your imagination take you to where this soldier has been and still is..
and then remember
that the very freedom we all are enjoying...right at this moment
was bought
...with this soldiers blood, sweat and tears
Paid in Full
