Something About The Fourth Of July : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

Sometimes a soldier has to kill .

  Far from the USA  a soldier sees things in a different way .

He walks through troubled streets  , littered with dead bodies and as he buries the innocent victims he remembers tomorrow the fourth of July .

 

Far from home a soldier feels proud of the flag being flown .

 Independence day has come and a soldier is reminded about those who have trespassed against the land of liberty and he remembers why he's there . .

 Sometimes a soldier asks himself why

 

Far from his family a soldier remembers how things used to be , when he celebrated with everyone the joy of being alive in a land where each persons dignity was respected and guarded because that's the American way .

  Sometimes a solider has to dream   .

 

 Far from the truth , a soldier comforts himself in something overproof . It's the fourth of July and fireworks light up the sky with strange effects that leave flashing streaks to gaze at  in wonder , as the day comes to an end .

 

 When the day is over and its time to get up . the fight goes on .For there are still those who close their eyes and dream of a world where we can live together in peace . They are a symbol of hope for all the human race .

 Something's a soldier must defend
