MEN DIVIDED
Place a man in battle,
 Give him a gun,
 Expect him to kill
  
 To survive...
  
 Thousands of men working for a government
 With little regard for their lives…
  
 Put a man into battle
 All for the sake of saving a place… called America .
  
 Train a solider to look past his brother’s face
 And call him an enemy, a disgrace.
  
 Both sides ask their soldiers
 To kill the other side,
 Innocent enemies divided by an arbitrary line.
  
 Ask a man to shoot…to kill… to honor one’s country
 Who robs from us all…
  
 Soldiers
 Prepared to die,
 Trained to sacrifice.
  
 For a country –
 Of people who want to give up the fight.
  
 We call it America ,
  
 Home of the brave,
  
 Then why are we so afraid?
