The Bravest

Location

We are the Best
The Bravest
At least that’s what is said
Over and Over again
Even after our Last Breath

We are the Strongest
The Fearless
The Righteous
The Inspiring
We are the Protectors of Liberty

Some call us Peacekeepers
Some Killers
Others Son,
Daughter,
Husband,
Wife,
Brother,
Sister
We are Human
But Freedom is Our Responsibility

The Affliction presses on our Thoughts
As Bullets zip by
For our Country and Loved Ones
We are Here

We Believe
We Fight
Until our Comrade Falls beside us
We Realize
We Feel

Mortality hits
And Fear is shared
Inside we are the little Child
Hiding under the covers
Fearing the Monster under the bed
