The One's Who Suffer
By Polaris
It's always been in time's of war
Powerful ego's send the young to
die
But when the fields are clear and dried
Who are the ones
who suffer?
She felt him growing everyday
She kissed his
wounds when he fell at play
She watched him leave that final day
Mother's are the one's who suffer
He taught him truth and
honor alike
To always fight with all his might
He watched him
fade from his sight
Father's are the one's who suffer
Where
ever he went she was there
He pushed her away but she knew he cared
With him gone she felt alone and scared
Sister's are the one's who
suffer
Weekend's with beer and friends
He wished those
night's would never end
He lost a mentor and best friend
Brother's
are the one's who suffer
Now it's over time to reflect
Profit's
gained and power won
They wouldn't dare send their son
The people
are the one's who suffer
