Children At Home

But then the soldier quickly remembered
That children at home could know,
Without visions of friends dismembered,
A life where freedom and love could grow.

That is the cost that freedom demands,
Where evil has always tried to rule,
For all to submit to the dire commands
Of tyrants that govern as a fool.

So a warrior knows better than anyone,
The price that freedom will cost,
So seek their wisdom before the gun,
For they know what both sides lost.

There is no happiness in celebration,
But gratitude others are spared,
From being sent by a worried nation
Because of the gift of they who dared.

Only fools would think that if we laid down our arms,the rest of the world would too.Let those fools put their children on the front lines with no weapons to greet the enemy.

Very good picture of what we don't want to see.So let's abolish our armies.Then who would enforce that abolishmen?That is the delima.
