Topic - You're a soldier in Iraq right now.........................

I did this in the form of a letter to my wife..

Dear love:

As blood drips onto this letter, I hope my soul follows suit
So if I should die this will allow my soul to call to you
All the troops are insane, I feel alone in a dessert hell
Paranoia's a necessity, I promise not to let death prevail
Two days ago we marched through a city of dirty bastards
My unit with camoflague, heavy-boots and thirty blasters
Observing rafters full of "civilians" but I was on to them
There were enemy soliders in their ranks...I was on to them
We kept along and then the silence was broken by hell
Williams took a bullet in his neck, choke and then fell
Joseph and 'Rell fired back and left their turbans torn
But it was an ambush and we were dying in this urban war
We were hurt 'n more and half of our unit was lying dead
Jones wanted to fight, I wanted to make it alive instead
I backtracked with six others until we made it back out
Jones tried to run and catch up; they sprayed his back out
Once back at camp we rested for a night and loaded weapons
Rocket launchers and tanks with armor to go and wreck them
At dawn we moved in unison with an almost profound grace
I carried a machine-gun, pistol and knife to the town gate
The tanks went in first but were greeted by heavy resistance
I followed closely behind tanks for a shield against them
My shoulder started to burn, I was wounded but not badly
But blood dropped fastly, I almost fell when John grabbed me
He tried to get me back so I could recoupe, but to no use
A suicide bomber blew up a tank, I watched John explode too
I was lucky, only minor burns, still able to fight back
Got to my feat and saw another bomber wearing a white cap
Grabbed my knife and stuck his right calf and he fell quick
He swung and I stabbed, he died...i left with a swelled lip
But before I moved on I grabbed the bomb strapped to him
Ran through alley ways while my unit still battled them
I got in back of them, tossed the bomb towards their troops
Pulled out my gun and shot, but the fire scorched me too
I almost died, love, honestly I saw that damn white light
Till the shadow of a man blocked it; he had his knife high
It was an enemy, his body burned, he stabbed my chest
I gasped for breath but still managed to grab his neck
He twisted the blade but my fingernail punctured his throat
And I cut him with my bare hands, I was covered and soaked
With his blood and he fell on me, the blade pressed down
I felt alone again as if my whole brigade had left town
I completely lost consciousness, and I awoke in this bed
I heard whispers, "He's dead weight, let's smoke him instead"
And that brings me to the present, and I fear for my life
I'm fearin' the night, I might be safe while here in the light
As blood drips onto this letter, I hope my soul follows suit
So if I should die this will allow my soul to call to you
Now my unit is insane, I feel alone in a dessert hell
Paranoia's a necessity, I promise not to let death prevail...

This one was canceled too
