Almost as long as there has been life, war has been a part of it. Mankind continues to wage war even though the consequences often breed nothing but misery. However, when a person is called to defend his or her country, or protect other defenseless people, it is his duty to fight. There is no question that there is evil in the world and we must not rest on our laurels and say it is none of our business. We cannot stand by and watch while others are being persecuted. It is the duty of mankind to uphold justice.

When you wake up in the morning or stay up nights on end,

Although he could not say with words
The love he felt inside,
He treasured every moment
And his heart would fill with pride.

To you, I may be very small
Or think I don't know much at all.
I've learned to grow up rather fast
With so much future and not much past.
Such a touching poem. I love it so much, because of it, I am now doing it to present to my class. ??
We have an understanding, you and I.
We sit in silence; nothing needs to be said.
I know the weight you carry.
You've been there for me
Through it all.
You're always there to catch me
When I start to take a fall.
I know how you feel, I do share the same thing but they're are still my brothers regardless of what they do. I'll still love them no matter what.
I will wish you and your brother good luck...
