    A Warriors Grief ~ A poem of War

    After viewing MillRat's post this morning

    Return Our Warriors

    He seems to always get me to thinking

    I wrote this poem, I posted it first under his thread, but decided both need to stand alone in their own thread.

    A Warriors Grief
    By Cook Barela
    January 19, 2005

    Since the sun came up this morning
    I’ve been awake, and now the shadows
    Of darkness are at my door, screaming
    For a fight once more

    Another day and another night
    To resume the fight
    Forever more

    I’ve killed men with these hands of mine
    Held their lives in the twilight of life
    Fighting with the morning sun at noon and at night
    It’s all the same for a profession such as mine

    To fight for my brothers life and freedom
    Is what I live for
    To share my love for peace
    Can only be found
    when I’ve fired the last round in war



    For me there is no time
    No place to rest under the sun
    My life’s a dream of the horrors of war
    There will be peace and when I can fight no more



    I will search the world over for the enemy of love, liberty and peace
    And follow to slay them at hell’s back door
    Till there is war no more





    That is my lot in life
    What gives liberty and sets things right
    It will all start again with the morning sun
    While bullets and rockets will fill the night

    For as long as the sun comes up and the stars shine at night
    I’ll be there to watch and fight
    For the joys of freedom found at your side

    What a price we pay that demands
    The souls of those that fight in war
    That you may enjoy Liberty in our shores




    So I’ll saddle up once more, with the morning sun
    And empty my chamber to even the score
    And as for tomorrows dreams tonight
    Share them with others
    For a warrior dreams is
    The freedom I bring
    with the weapons of war
