Support the Troops
Bullets flying 
 Around me
 Yelling, hatred
 Anger
 Fear
 My mind races
 With the thoughts of
 My family 
 Back home.
 My beautiful 
 Young wife.
 My supportive 
 Mother and father.
 My two brothers.
 Sadness rips threw me
 As I see a dying man
 On the street.
 My eyes trickle tears down my cheeks.
 My dead grandfather.
 Regrets of the things I never said.
 Oh how I miss them.
 When will this madness end?
 My heart aches to hold them in my eyes once more.
 There faces burned in my memory
 Forever.
 I will come home once more to my country, my land.
 I will once more know that I am not in danger
 Any more.
