Footprints Of Sacrifice And Tears[with Kathy Lockheart]

The fog shrouds the morning sun,
it's cold, misty fingers prying
into any exposed piece of flesh,
as the soldiers march across the field.

Dampened spirits, weary and worn
ragged and tattered souls tread
across bogs and scorched earth,
leaving footprints of sacrifice and tears.

What is the cause they're sacrificing for?
What is the point of this bloody war?
delivered into a man-made hell,
broken soldiers march on
March on with eyes of sorrow and shattered hearts,
fighting continuously whether light or dark
crawling across a no-man's land,
all to supposedly help their fellow man.

Men and women offer their lives
in honour of their country, they often [needlessly] die,
War is a wretched battlefield clothed in despair,
Why does hatred spread in fear
leaving scars to fester and go unhealed?
When will peace come at last?

i must say this is one of the best cowrites in the bay. War is a necessity it must come to pass for peace progess and understanding to thrive. So we all must remember does who have fought for us.
