Battle

I've no idea what goes on
On your end of the screen
Why you feel you have this right
Your malice and hate is evidenced in your words
"Your family is low class and subhuman
You and your brother deserve to die
Puppy  child killer in Iraq"

My brother never killed anyone
Especially not the children
Or the other innocents
You've not been over there
You have no idea

"I support Al Quaida
America deserves to die
god sends everyone who fights
an unjust war to hell"

David killed Uriah
I doubt he's in hell
And I have a hard time believing
That you love a God that you can't
Even bother to give
A proper title to

Tell me, where in the Bible
Does it say that God doesn't forgive
Where? I haven't found it
Didn't Jesus die for *all* sin?
ALL sin.

There is no one righteous
NOT ONE
And that includes me
And that includes you

Let he among us
Without sin
Be the first to condemn

Author notes

This really isn't a poem of any worth. But do you think this guy is justified? He told me today that my whole family is going to hell because my brother "killed kids in Iraq"

He never did anything of the sort. He didn't kill any single person.

And every single person he met was glad he was there.

Now I don't like the war, but our soldiers and their faimiles are not going to hell for this.

Please tell me what you think

    Comming from a time where my own brother was called a "baby killer" when he came home from a very unpopular war ( not that any war should be called that ) if you were in WWII or WWI you didn't hear this sort of thing. I know how you felt whin this person said these things to you. All I can say is "rise above the small minded and know the truth, don't let what he said rule your thoughts. He's not worth the waist of time."
    Take care kiddo.

        Yea that's what they called most of the vets coming back from Viet Nam, It was part of the reason I joined the service after I got out of HS. I kinda carried a chip on my shoulders for a while about it.

    That guy doesn't make sense!

    He's pissed cause he believes a pack of lies. Your right, your brother is not going to hell for answering the call of duty to defend our Country from terrorists who invaded our borders and killed innocent people. The people that support these terrorists and their activities will be the ones to unfortunately go to hell. Nobody wants to go to war but like the ol' saying goes, freedom isn't free. I honor our soldiers over in Iraq. They didn't make the war, they didn't turn away from what had to be done. If you notice that since 9/11 there hasn't been anymore major terrorist attacks on America. I thank God for our soldiers over there.
    And thank your brother!
