    REAL VIEW OF A BATTLE
    The training doesn't prepare you
    The news reels don't tell it all
    The government lies to its people
    Whats really happening in the War
    The bodies they send home everyday
    Flag covered caskets that fill our planes
    The families that bury their young
    The sadness they'll never overcome
    For those that do make it home
    They're never the same
    Unsafe to leave alone
    The depression and Nightmares that haunt us
    The brothers we left behind us
    The bitter taste of battle stays
    The screams they don't show on TV
    The troopers tears
    The Battles remain with us forever
    As does the youth we left behind

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
