Soldiers Not By Choice

"Soldiers yes
But not by choice"
A line I wrote before my tears silenced my voice

Too young to die
Too pure to die
I just want to know why?

Mothers are in pain
We are holding them
Trying to stay sane

They wanna know if their kids died in vain
Is it worth all this pain
Are we gonna walk to another grave tomorrow again?

Screams filled with tears is all that is now
But we can still hear him say
"I will die for my country to that I vow"

RIP ElGendy

This is so sad Sarah, it so hard to be a mother when her children go before her. You might see the Opuss I posted a couple of days ago called "The Hero" by Siegfried Sassoon. 😰😰😰
