Questions
?Did you ever kill someone,
Or get real close and see
The full effect of a claymore mine
Or long range artillery??
?Did you ever cut off an ear?
Wear a trophy hung by thread?
Make a bracelet out of teeth?
Take something personal from the dead??
?Did you ever show some sign of fear
While walking through a ?ville?
Feel a cold chill in the heat
Of a jungle fallen soundless, and still??
Oh, he may tell you, and all in good time
Of what his war has done to his mind
But did he kill, and did they die?
Into this place, please do not pry.
