My Brother Died Today   I watched another one die today. He was a good man . He risked it all for his fellow soldier.
I was next him when he went. All I could think of was the shame a good soldier had died.
While others debated the cause of the war , We died left and right . I have seen many go this way.
 It is not a glorious death. However those around me know freedom is never free.
It costs many lives. As my military brother put it on the line for me again today .
 I cried as another gave his soul.  You ask ? For what I might cry. Its for freedom they say.
I say its a hard price to pay. Soldiers do what they are told.
People whom haven't been there have no clue. As the tears flow again and again .
I tell you leave my soldier brothers alone. They'll fight for you even if you hate them.
My brother the fighting soldier has no race has no color.
He strives everyday just to make it through. The ones whom make it back are lucky.
I wonder are they ? As another person burns the flag. As another spits on my brother.
I cry out in grief and anguish because you don't seem to care.
It cost many of my brothers their very life for you to have your rights.     Not every war is right. Yet my brothers die everyday .
 Time may never wash my grief away.     If you cry a tear for my brother, He can not thank you . However if i see your tears .
I will know he did not die for nothing................
