He Died A Hero?

He died a hero In a war of vague purpose We really don't know What it was for, I suppose. An axis of evil? A war on Terror- But assessments reveal Man's greed and error. Was it about oil? Who was the aggressor- Did we make him recoil Or were we the oppressor? So where' s the victory Where indeed is the end? Death's the only reality For the soldiers you send. Familes now broken Young and old lives lost, Fathers and sons taken Oh, at such a great cost! 'He died a hero' Tell that to their children, The pain of loss you don't know As you plan a new war again. ...................................................................................................
