Poems - Sniper (altered after Iraq)

Sniper (altered after Iraq)

by Armydon21

Deep inside the world I live,
My wounded soul may never forgive,
To protect and serve my country I did,
Relive the memories while I was a kid,
Shoot to kill is what they read,
All the soldiers’ lives thought dead,
To some there’s no pleasure,
Only a few thought they found treasure,
In a world of carnage despair,
Bullets vanished through thin air,
As soldiers this is our day,
All the lives lost this way,
Never seeing the bullet or taker,
To the heavens they meet their maker,
Scarring the mind,
These gears of war we grind,
But just as once the air I slice,
Your heart beat I hear my aim precise,
For it’s my job it must be done,
So sad I had to use this gun,
But I will move on and my dreams will die,
Replaced by your soul and here I cry…

Donald DeLoach

its too deep it strikes the core thats what i love about it the fact that you have to relive and deal with what you were told to do is horrible yet i know one day you may be able to leave this horrible nightmare and see the true beauty of life and allow your dreams to resurface and allow old scars to heal
