Going Off To War
what should I do
how do I survive
will I see those I love again
how will I spend the nights
when bombs falls around me
how can I sleep
when I know not what the next hour will bring
if it should come to this
how could I kill someone that I have never met
or have done me no wrong
my country I want to serve
asking no questions
just answering the call
doing as I have been commanded
knowing that any day I am at war I could die
will the time past quickly
or will I lie daily in fear
what will I do when he who fights beside me
fades from this world, and I am left to grieve
although him I did not know
have I done that which is right
to join the tragedy of war
where nothing may be resolved
except the end of life for many
who thought as I
i am afraid
i am worried
i feel a hopeless strain of wonder
lying in wait, without a moments notice
what should I do
i cannot retreat
duty calls
Get on the boat
Do your job
Come back home
Again
what should I do
