| Why Mom and Dad why Was I destined and born into this life to die This terrorist war makes so many just cry Our awesome America may be going to war And now I may cease to exist no more I grew up and finished school with a 3.5 I am so proud to be alive I am 18 now and so ready for life Find someone special and make her my wife Our job market and economy is really bad All of this really makes me mad and sad I joined the army for income stability And now I must face the ugly reality Of fighting a war in a foreign country And possibly become a statistical casualty You see Mom, Dad, I want to live I have strong morals, education, lots to give I am too young to go off and die Why Mom and Dad, Why Oh Why!!!!! © James L. McHenry, 2003 Authors Comment ~ This Poem was Created in February 2003 just prior to the war |
