We live in a hell, most people call life.
To me, it's mostly evil, war, death, and , strife.

We have children that will be here when we are long gone, 
Is this the legacy that we want them to carry on?

Nobody can fix this, not like this you see,
Violence begets violence , it's not the answer, nor the key.

The answer is quite simple, let be..... what will be,
It's no fight of ours across foreign land and sea.

Our men and women are dying each and everyday,
But Congress and the President says "there's just no other way."

We are fighting a senseless war, that only two can win,
That's death and destruction and that's not how it should end.

It's actions of our government, poor politics, haste, and, extreme financial waste,
I feel it's total disregard for all the human race.

Many wonder if our soldiers fought the good fight,
It's not likely, for a barrel of oil, they lost their precious life.

While over half of our country is at war across the globe,
There are countless problems mounting here, at home, on U.S. soil.

They need to be attended to quickly and with grace.
Our country is going under at such an alarming pace.

What's worth fighting for remains to be seen.
It's costing us dearly, with a body count that should have been foreseen.

It's proven pointless for America to raise a voice,
Congress has already voted, leaving us with little, or no choice.

Please bring our troops home, this is no kind of life,
Our families existing with no Father, Husband , Mother or Wife.

Our families deserve better, all that we can give,
Unconditional love and nurturing care that we carry from within.

On this day we honor all of our soldiers, past, present, and beyond,
For fighting for this great Country, but, yet we see that it's still not done.

You fight with honor for this great Country knowing you are right,
Knowing how this could tragically end, costing you your life.

There is no way I could possibly thank you that would be properly fit,
To honor, justly, all the men and women who has seen tragedy forthwith.

For when honoring our Veterans, please, take a bow..... Shed a tear for the lost ones, and bless the ones know.

The tragedy and sadness in our hearts will forever remain,
For the ones who are lost, hopefully didn't die in vein.

On this day of Honors, I send spirit fill prayers,
To all the men and women who have fought by, Land, Sea, and Air.

In final thoughts, God Bless our Troops, past, present, and the ones yet to be ,
I'm sending all of my love and good wishes from sea to .... shining sea.
God Bless our Troops.

Dedicated to my Dad and my Hero, Jimmy Hatcher
I love you Daddy and Thank You.
