Made him proud

Made him proud

A Poem by Katie Lynn
"

This is about a president of the USA

"
Alone in the battlefeild he cries out for help
But no one can reach him until its too late
He tries hard not to but the tears fall down
Saying his Hail Marys and Our Fathers
Praying God forgive him for all the wrongs
All alone on the battlefeild he slowly dies
Wondering if she knows how much he loved her
Hoping he made his father proud of him

She sits alone at home waiting for him to return
Constantly checking her messenger, every minute
Waiting for him to sign on and tell her how it went
the days go by and she starts to worry about him
It'll be a week before she finds out his fate
She gets the email, and knows almost right away
An ominous subject line, about Sgt Sullivan.
The first word Ma'am and she cries
Wondering if he knew how much she loved him.
Hoping she made him proud of her

Another man sits around family in a nice house
The world watching him live and breath
unaware of the boys that no one sees die
Uncaring that the world is getting strained
But its his legacy, in eight years of death
and everyone wonders if he made his father proud

'Alone in the battlefeild he cries out for help

Heart rending. Horrific truth.

Great job on contrasting integrity to imagined reality. ~ pat
