Underestimate Nothing

Last remaining soldier,

Do you know the wars been over,

For a couple of years now?

And where are your sleeping quarters?

Do you bunk near your enemies?

Last remaining soldier,

When you feel like your job is done,

We all would like you to come home,

Because the fights have all been won,

We’re just waiting for you to catch on.

Last remaining soldier,

Do you know why you even fought in the first place?

They gave you a gun and ammunition and sent you on your merry way.

Dear soldier where have your battle buddies gone?

Back home to their wives and children,

While your’s have long since been gone.

Last remaing soldier,

The fight still burns ear to heel.

Looking for every enemy,

to murder each one still.

Nothing to go back to,

You’re a mercenary on the run.

Once a man fighting for his country,

Now a threat with a gun.

Last remaining soldier,

the wars long since been over,

But your war has just begun.

August 31st, 2009.
