"No More to Sacrifice"

By RaeDi

 

Fighting this war year after year in time

What is the purpose, what have we gained?

Can we say the flag draped cofins

All set in there perfect rows, perfect lines

Does it give us any peace of mind?

 

Too many losses, too much sorrow

Please, please end this war by tomorrow

No more of our son and daughters

Will we send to fight this war, not one more will we sacrifice

What is this war, what are we fighting for?

 

All the wars, in all the years, for all of time

How many have paid the ultimate price?

Too many have we lost

When will we learn, will we learn?

No more are we willing to sacrifice

 

What is the cost?

No price, no price can take the place

Of our Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Sisters

Our Sons and our Daughters

Each is too precious; the price too high for us to pay

 

My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to each and every family that has served our country over all the years in time....RacDi
