Destroyed Youth (3 men and how war affects all)
A young man,
Barely old enough to buy alcohol.
College was never an option, the Marines was all he had to make something of himself.
Now a prisoner of war, reflecting on life...
On what he could have done differently,
On whom he could have become,
On how he let life slip away.
Mortars exploding all around him, screams coming from the wounded.
Enemies screaming foreign languages, so much hatred,
Every day he is a hostage, the young man regrets his decisions,
Not knowing whether death waits today or tomorrow.
Trapped...
A middle-aged man,
Recieving the position yearned for.
As general, the news of the young prisoner pulls on his heartstrings.
Memories triggered of his own experience,
once trapped but now free.
His own beloved country, seeking the needed natural resources,
Resorting in killing thousands of innocent souls,
Dreams and lives of families,
His own beloved country, sought for revenge,
Destroying,
Yet assisting a struggling nation.
