The Price of Freedom
ReplyDeleteA ghostly image of a soldier
stood in the background,
as a mother with a babe in her
arms stood by a grave site.
She lowly whispered, "Father
this is your son. Son this is your
father, he gave his life so
that others might live."
Shirley Smothers
Being a woman and a vetered
I realize that women die
and leave behind families.
I wrote this poem before women
were allowed into battle conditions.

TRY TALKING
ReplyDeleteSecond of February 2002 I saw you.
A young girl no more than twelve I'd say
happily dancing in snow.
The first snow of Winter they said.
I wanted to reach out and join in your happiness
but couldn't.
You were after all thousands of miles away
in the land of Mohammed.
Afghanistan.
Graveyard of empires.
And yet there you were in my sitting room
via the television.
For weeks I had been watching the news.
The unrelenting bombing of Tora Bora.
Operation Enduring Freedom
they called it.
I watched in awe at this beautiful scene
of a young girl dancing in snow.
A brilliant white the sign of peace
falling from high Heaven.
What a contrast from B52's
belching out their cargo of death
in the sure knowledge that their enemies
have nothing to reach them.
They say love can move mountains.
I say bombs will only distort them
and strengthen the peoples resolve.
History can and does repeat itself.
Might is not always right
Try talking.

A SOLDIERS LETTER FROM HEAVEN
ReplyDeleteHi All Its Been A While Since The Last Time I Was Around That Day I Was Lowered Into The Ground. I'm Getting Settled In The Only Problem It’s A Bit Boring For A Squaddie Here There Isn't Any Fags And Certainly No Beer. The Sad Thing Is There Are More And More Of Us Now We All Get To Hang Out Together Doesn’t Matter What Rank We Were We All Get Treated Like One Of The Mow.
Its Amazing What You Can See From Up Here I Even Watched All My Mates In The Mess Toasting My Farewell With Cans Of Beer, Must Admit It Made Me Shed A Tear. Don't Worry About Me I Have Good Mates Up Here, There's Gordon, Barry, John, Walter Sam, Robert, Sav And Gus They All Send Their Best Wishes, So Don't Worry About Any Of Us
Missing You All But The Bonus Is I Get To See You All Every Day , I Love To See You All Messing About And Its Still Funny When Mum Sings . Have To Go For Now I'm Keeping An Eye On A Wee Squaddie In The Ghan, Just Remember I'm Your Guardian Angel Up Here And I Will Look After You And My Bothers In Arms The Best I Can
