Redemption By Jeremy
A Poem is a War of Words Ars Poetica A poem started its troops with simple words But when your troops are too weak You have to change the worn out troops When something goes wrong You know your poem s been bombed After revising and changing You see a battlefield on your paper Much more blood than ever At the end your war Your poem could be ruined Or it could be better

Weapon Change By Jeremy and Ethan From sticks To swords From archers To trebuchets From blunderbusses To shotguns From pirate ships To tanks From torches To flamethrowers From the Great Wall of China To the Trump Wall My my look how far we ve come we ve come My my look how far
Joining War I want to join the war Mama says I m not Dad says I should But Brother said no I declare I m going in But when I apply they say the war was over
Messages If civilians in the streets didn t talk about us It wouldn t bother us so much If I could understand what they re saying I wouldn t had to shoot them all If general didn t tell me to take fire I wouldn t have had to shoot the kid If I didn t join the military I wouldn t have had these problems
The Fake Pledge I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Democracy for which it doesn t stand many Nations under God divisible with no liberty and injustice for all
Without You Without my gun I m like a snake without fangs Without a plane I m like a bird without wings Without courage I m like the frog in a well Without the British fleet We re are fish against the Germans Without war I would be a normal man
This is Just to Say I have sunk the boats floating in Pearl Harbor that was controlled By your lousy General paying no attention and which you were probably wondering why elect him for general Forgive me The ships were so close together so tempting to sink and so big of group

Ode to Veterans Veterans The fathers of modern soldiers Gods Sometimes easily scared Sometimes brave So brave That They lose control Veterans Saviors of So many battlefields Veterans Who turned powerful After being weak Veterans Are stronger than ever Of the whole military Trying their best to Serve with honor That aren t Known all over the world Veterans Are warriors of the past Full of compassion and strength Like a samurai Changing weapons ever so often Veterans The father of modern soldiers
