wanna be war hero

war is inevitable
forged through greed hate and deception
a horrible thing that destroys home's, country's and so so
many lives

yet why do we aspire to be someone who fuels it
a soldier
a man with a gun from a town just like yours
taking lives for the sake of his country
for many reasons a man fights
its for his country
its for his family, his kids and his friends
its a family tradition

its to become a man

its for an adventure

as children we fantasise about being a soldier

we shoot our friends with our hands and chickenfeed

gunstaking lives is a game but in reality its death

a cold hard act of sin

yet they still fire at faces of fear and youth

so I will to

I'll carry that gun through bullets and smoke

while the cases drop and the blood spills

I'll wear my flag with pride

the blood of innocence on my fingers will stain

for my friends, my country and my love
