Some Folks are Just That. Folks!
Some folks don’t
understand
When time is
called for a war
Fighting another
goes against
What the Bible
says no more
Some folks claim
patriotism
But supporting
returning men
From their
countries’ tour duty
They ignore or
give recognition
Some folks cry out
hatefulness
For a meaningless
cause of action
Their heartless
daggers thrown
To their own
people of their nation
Some folks would
rather no war
Nor support their
countrymen
But mistreat in
despising protest
Using demeaning
names there-in
Some folks, like
me, don’t like it
Especially during
the ‘
As a young
rebellious girl then
Voiced my dislikes
and much more
But, some folks
never heard me
I never
participated in a protest
Just voiced my
concerns in class
While the pros and
cons express
Folks like me,
grew up and learned
What happened and
why with ‘
Had family die or
maimed or sick
I’m very glad they
made it back home
Now folks in this
new generation
See war as it is,
a repeat of others
The Bible never
changed its word
About fighting and
killing of sirs
Some folks that
have fought afar
Have horrible
memories of trauma
Nightmares and
frights continue
As life goes on
with its drama
