Day of Defeat

A YOUNG BOY WAS ON HIS WAY HOME
WHEN VIBRATIONS STARTED COMIN FROM HIS CELLULAR PHONE
HE LOOKED, IT WAS HIS MOTHER SO HE PICKED UP
WITH PAIN IN HER VOICE "WEREEVER YOU ARE JUST COME HOME, HURRY UP"
HE WONDERED WHY WOULD HIS MOTHER WOULD BE CALLING HIM
BUT MANY THINGS WERE GOING THROUGH HIS MIND SINCE HE WAS ELEVEN
SO HE PEDDLED FASTER AND FASTER AND GOT TO HIS STREET
HE GOT CLOSE TO HIS HOUSE AND JUMPED TO FEET
THERE WAS MAN STANDING INSIDE UNIFORM AND ALL
HE STOOD THERE WATCHING HIS MOM START TO FALL
AT FIRST HE WAS HAPPY HIS DAD CAME HOME
THEN IT HIT, THE SOUND OF HIS MOMS VOICE OVER THE PHONE
HE RAN INSIDE, CALLING FOR HIS FATHER
THE GUY TURNED AROUND AND IT WASN'T HIS FATHER
ITS AN UNKNOWN MAN TO ME AND I LOOKED AT MY MOTHER
HE RAN OVER TO HER AND STARTED TO HUG HER
HE ASKED ABOUT HIS FATHER, WHICH BROUGHT TEARS TO HER EYES
WHEN SHE COULDN'T ANSWER HE TURNED TO THE GUY
WERE IS HE IS HE OK, IS HE ON HIS WAY HOME
HE WANT HIM HERE I MISS HIM I WANT HIM TO COME HOME,
HIS FATHER A SERVING HIS DUTIES OVER SEAS
IN THE LETTERS HE WROTE HOME IS WERE HE WANTED TO BE
HE WROTE OF HOW SCARED HE WAS, AND HOW WANTED
JUST TO BE HOME HOME AND NOT TO BE TAUNTED
NOT TO BE TAUNTED BY DEATH EVERYDAY
AND THE THOUGHT OF EVERYONE STANDING AROUND HIS GRAVE
ALWAYS MADE HIM WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
AND FORCE HIM TO KILL WHATEVER CAME INTO HIS SIGHTS
"YOUR FATHER DIED TO DAYS AGO" THE GUY STARTED TO SAY
THE LITTLED BOY STOOD UP AND STARTED TO PUSH HIM AWAY
CRYING "NO NO MY DADDYS ALIVE"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU UGLY WEIRD GUY"
THEN HIS MOTHER GRABBED BY THE SHOULDER AND TOLD HIM SO SIT
HIS STOMACH DROPPED, SANKED INTO A BOTTOMLESS PIT
THEN HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM, WHAT THE MAN SAID WAS TRUE
AND HE WAS ONLY ONE OF THE FEW
THAT MADE IT OUT OF THE BUILDING THE OTHER DAY
WHEN GOD TOOK YOUR FATHER FAR FAR AWAY
THIS MAN WAS ONE OF YOUR FATHERS BEST FREINDS WERE HE WAS AT
HE TURNED TO WATCH THE MAN START TO TAKE OFF HIS HAT
I HELD YOUR FATHER IN MY ARMS, AND CLOSED HIS EYES WHEN HE PAST
HE WASNT IN NO PAIN IT JUST HAPPENED SO FAST
BUT BEFORE HE LEFT US HE TOLD ME ONE THING
HE LOVED YOU AND YOUR MOTHER AND ASKED ME TO BRING
THE LAST LETTER HE WROTE BEFORE HE LEFT THAT MORNING
AND ANYTHING YOU NEED WHILE YOUR IN MOURNING
THE LITTLE BOY TOOK THE LETTER FROM THE MANS HANDS
AND SAT DOWN BESIDE HIS MOTHER CAUSE HE COULD BARELY STAND
IT SAID, TODAY I WAS GIVIN ORDERS TO GO TO A PLACE
SET UP MY AREA AND POSSIBLY FACE
HUNDREDS OF MEN WHO ARE WILLING TO DIE
TEAR DROPS DRIPPED FROM THIS BOYS EYES
AND HIS MOTHER STARTED TO CRY
SON IF I EVER HAVE TO TRAVEL TO THE SKYS ABOVE OUR HEAD
REMEMBER THE THINGS I ALWAYS SAID
BE A GENTLEMEN TREAT EVERY WOMEN WITH RESPECT
IF YOU EVER GET ANGRY JUST HOLD YOUR BREATH
NOOTHING IS WORTH FIGHTING OVER LOOK AT THIS WAR
WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY FIGHTING FOR
BUT SON THATS NOT I WANT YOU THINK OF
I WANT YOUR HEART AND SOUL TO BE FILLED WITH LOVE
WELL SORRY THAT THIS LETTER IS SO SMALL
GOTTA HEAD OUT JUST GOT THE FINAL CALL
I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MOTHER WITH ALL OF MY HEART
AND NOTHING COULD EVERY TEAR US APART
P.S. RUB YOUR MOTHERS STOMACH SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW BROTHER
THE BOY SAT THERE TEARS ROLLING DOWN HIS FACE
HE WALKED UP TO THE MAN HE PSUHED AND LOOKED HIM IN HIS FACE
HUGGED HIM AND TOLD HIM IM HAPPY YOU CAME
THE MAN LOOKED DOWN AT HIM AND SAID THE SAME
THE BOY THEN TURNED AROUND AND KISSED HIS MOTHER ON THE CHEEK
HE THEN TURNED TO THE MAN AND WISELY SAID "THIS WASN'T THE DAY OF DEFEAT"
