It's Hard

It's hard to say when or how
It's hard to realize the time is now
It's hard to bask in self-comprehension
It's hard to understand such cruel intention
It's hard to tell what's going on
It's hard to know when they're gone
It's hard to fight a cunning foe
It's hard not to get lost, the undertow
It's hard to kill a man's honor
It's hard to hear "He's a goner"
It's hard to murder for your home
It's hard to make things seem monochrome
It's hard to be a man apart
It's hard to say goodbye to your counterpart
It's hard to pray day and night
It's hard to witness the gunfire ignite
It's hard to be in the army
It's hard to know Landry and Clarmy
It's hard to fight in a war
It's hard to know that Bush keeps score

It's not hard to say "Good job"
It's not hard to pray and sob
It's not hard to aid and support
It's not hard to defend and retort
It's not hard, give them hope please
It's not hard, we function past the knees

A poem I wrote about supporting soldiers. This is just in general; if people are fighting on your behalf, you should support them. They deserve to be supported, and to be proud of risking their lives. Please, don't scorn them because you don't agree with the orders they were given.

I support the soldiers for what they do and to do it, even if I don't agree with the whole war in the first place. The fact that they go through what they do is strength enough. Beautifully written.
