Mothers’ Dilemma and War
Really, Mom, what could you have done
To stop "The War" from claiming your son?
Tied him with strands of invisible guilt
And witnessed his pride gently wilt
As he watched others take his place
In Aries’ unrelenting embrace?
Should he have agreed to remain behind
With others who had also declined
To defend the freedom they all adore
But just wasn't worth risking their lives for?
Written in response to two thoughtful poems by
Christina Sharik, ArmyMom: Mothers and Soldiers
