Of Gods and Soldiers
A walk so brazen
 A walk so bold
 A walk so true
 A walk so broken
 A walk so cold
 A walk with you
 
 Godless heathens who pray to the heavens
 For parlay, forgiveness, recourse
 Prayers
 To see parties, happiness and of course
 Families and children whose moments they will treasure forever 
 If a part of them must be lost to the devil's players
 Then never will time never be spent ever
 With the ones they hold close, and together
 With the loved ones they treasure
 
 Violence of action is cruelty
 Violence of words is freedom
 But in my opinion truely,
 The two are for the most part even
 Treason is treason with pen, voice or sword
 For a God or plant, animal or man
 For all men, the gods have a plan
 For all men, godly laws are sworn
 
 A soldier's life in battle
 Is a sacrifice in honor
 Not of country nor government
 Not of a mother or a daughter
 A sacrifice in honor 
 Of a great and sacred covenant
 Bonds between men and gods
 Are evident, relevant
 
 Though the truth may be hidden in smoke and mirror
 Or Cloak and dagger
 Or behind Shield and spear
 Courage and fear
 Will connect gods with men forever
 The courage to do what in your heart is right
 To sacrifice your very life
 To give your spirit to a god
 Who you may not believe in
 If such a god exists, he believes in you
 In this I am believing
 Of this, I know is true

The first was to voice my belief that a soldier's sacrificing of their life for their beliefs is one of the most noble and honorable sacrifices they can give. Also, that if there is a god or gods, then they hold men and women soldiers in the highest regard no matter the cause they stand for.
The second reason, is to express my dislike of war protestors who target soldiers verbally and physically. They should be giving respect, not words of the pen or voice, or pain of the sword.
