[[A tribute Defense Forces of Sri Lanka ]]
Your alarm goes off; you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes [He stays up for days on end ] You take a warm shower to help you wake up [He goes days or weeks without running water ] You complain of a `headache`, and call in sick [He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward ] You put on your anti war/don`t support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends [He still fights for your right to wear that shirt ] You talk trash about your `buddies` that aren`t with you [He knows he may not see some of his buddies again ] You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls [He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists ] You complain about how hot it is [He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow ] You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong [He doesn`t get to eat today ] Your wife/mother/ maid makes your bed and washes your clothes [He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean ] You go to the mall and get your hair redone [He doesn`t have time to brush his teeth today ] You`re angry because your class ran 5 minutes over [He`s told he will be held over an extra 2 months ] You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight [He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home ] You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday [He holds his letter close and smells his love`s perfume ] You roll your eyes as a baby cries [He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they`ll ever meet ] You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything... [He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting ] You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him [He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded - and of the innocents who have no one to stand up for them ] You see only what the media wants you to see [He sees the broken bodies lying around him ] You stay at home and watch TV [He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat ] You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him If only there were more men like him! [[WHO is HE? SL Force MEMBERS... To whom? Innocent civilians]] |
