Fear!
November 5, 2015
Fear
Imagine it.
Bombs flying your way.
Having scars that will always stay.
Losing friends along the way.
The sky a constant grey.
All to let freedom ring.
With all the tears that it will bring.
Red, white and blue; what a simple thing.
The memories that will forever sting.
They step up ready to fight.
Every day and every night.
Holding on so dearly tight.
All to be our country’s knight.
It's OK, you can open your eyes.
The dream is over and so are your cries.
Our country looks like such a prize,
But fear is in the greatest disguise.
