Please don't go
its too dangerous
a mother's plea
when her son decides
to serve in the army
i have to do something
for my country
i can't stand
and watch this country
fall to its knees
you must understand
i have to do this
he puts out his argument
hoping she will understand
he left today
went to iraq
not before promising
to write every day
and he did
for months
followed by years
the letter became
less and less frequent
she became
more and more worried
them she got a letter
out of the blue
sorry maam
your som died today
she throws it down
runs and cries
why did she let him go
it was her own fault
she let her baby go
and now hes gone
forever
