All's Fair


I left my home, to join the army!
I left my home, to join the army!

To save my country, from the foreign man
Cause she loves me back, as only a mother can!

So we did both meet, on the battlefield
Die or survive, our fates are sealed

In him I saw, the same resolve
I had in me, country above all

I lost a brother, when I took his life
I sobbed as I wrote, to my patient wife

I came back home, to join society!
I came back home, to join society!

His face haunts me, keeps me up at night
As I wake up, shivering in fright

I seeked out help, to fix my soul
But the doctor's bills, left me in a hole

We love our vets! They said everywhere
Yet I could not, fit anywhere

Thoughts and prayers, they all did bless
And then turned their backs, I must confess

They say all's fair, in love and war
How could that be, when neither are


I came across this video on TikTok a little while ago and was pretty moved by the sense of duty- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wktDhK5wBx4
But I was also moved by the dereliction of duty by society and government as highlighted by Jon Stewart - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7PgaHnup3o
