How Different We Are
I met a soldier today
He looked just like you
And I wonder what choices
Led him down his path.
And you, yours.
Two paths of sacrifice;
One of love
Another of death
Both, believers in a cause
Greater than themselves:
One building.
One Destroying.
In another reality,
Are you brothers?
Would it be in arms?
Or peace?
How long, how long
Oh brother of mine,
Until all of this
Mindless killing
Will cease?
I met a solder yesterday
He looked just like you
I asked after him
And learned that last night
His journey is through
Greater love hath no man
Than this,
That he lay down his life
For his friends.
Keep fighting…
Living for others is much
more a challenge
Than dying for them.
