Taken Away

Submitted by Farkash13Daemon31 on December 17, 2007 - 18:40.

My brothers were taken away,
My sisters as well.
They were taken away,
Far, far away,
Across oceans, seas, and continents.

Taken away from their home
To go fight a war that
Was not their own,
A war fought for rights
To the blackened blood of
Soil stained crimson,
Soil soaked in the blood of
People and animals.
Soil in which no life can flourish,
For the shadow of Death clings to
