Soldier have you and do you know?

Have you said goodbye to your family?

Have you made peace with your god?

Have you kissed the ground of this beautiful country?

Have you damned the politicians and the pencil pushers who sent you out to war?

Brothers, do you understand you are doing a great service to your country?

Brothers, do you understand this might be the last time we see each other in this world so do not worry do not panic just do your service and all will be over soon and we will all make it home to this beautiful country again either in a seat or in a box.

As a veteran your poem was so relative and so powerful. I read it and reread it and it moved me deeply. Thank you for sharing this poem! Please keep writing!
