My 8th grade daughter's poem for an assignment I HAVE THE BEST DAUGHTER

[greenbriar]

This war is pointless

We aren’t in the right place

There is no reason that all of these men and women should die

If things keep going how they are now, our friends, and boyfriends, and us too, we’ll have to fight

Yes, it was their choice

But it wont be our choice

And yes, its honorable to die for your country

But, why?

Why do our people have to fight for a cause that’s not even defined?

We are just there to be there and make things go boom

Their innocent people are dieing too



Stupid weapons of mass destruction

WHAT weapons of mass destruction?

Is their any proof that we need to be there?

Is there any proof?

Is there any proof?

Is there any proof?

Were they the ones that blew up our twin towers?

NO

So why shouldn’t we be there, here or over there



Why did we not receive any support when we/he asked?

Did they see a reason?

Did they see a reason?

Did they see a reason?

If they had, don’t you think they would have helped?



Why aren’t their children fighting?

They are American and above age, are they not?

Why aren’t his daughters’ boyfriends fighting?

Better yet what are they doing to help?

Sitting on their asses all day

writing, no having other people write “well written bullshit” speeches to try to keep his people, his blind followers following

Though not entirely possible, we are being lead to hell on earth



Maybe, just maybe they knew what was about to happen, planning

Maybe they knew

Maybe, they knew

Maybe, they knew

Its pointless
