war hero

Infatuated
Investigated
Lusting the native
idea that waited-
He did his time
Now he's educated
2 tours and back
The past is faded....

The son of someone
in the shadows now
He's now dedicated
to what is not allowed

War hero is celebrated
Just a lucky chance
that he could make it...
beyond circumstance

He preaches to the boys
that think they have the will
to fight and be heros
and be proud to kill..

He tells them that war
is just a political game
The justice is bogus
and theres no one to blame

Young and naive to the avenues of life
Integrated
and baited into joining a fight
Bravery isnt measured by the hands around your throat
Courage is learned from what is yet to know

War hero sleeps lightly
Freedom, vacated.
Haunted till death
by his hand
Trigger, invaded
