Soldiers

It was worth fighting for, he knew that when the soldiers came

Lives of many taken,

Years of turmoil and yet he never knew

Until the soldiers left and the dust settled

What power lay beyond the silver gates.

He knew what wrong and right were

Even though many did not

Life love liberty

The words of his people, right and wrong

Even when those men returned, he was lost,

the men spared no one

they left and came once more,

only then did he know and act

He knew that when the soldiers came, it was worth fighting for
