More than Words on Pages By Jack Todd
War What is the point of war? Getting your legs blown off by a c4? All the awful views, And all the horrible news, Missing your family for the days, Just to be praised. Serving for your country, Just to see a free nation. War is like a marathon, It feels like it never ends. Is the point of to have power? Or to see your country be free? Or to be able to be over sea? Is the point of war to fight for your friends? Or to kill your foes.
The Left behind Stuffed Animal You keep it in good shape, That very old stuffed ape, You sleep with it in bed, You take it on your sled, You act like you push it on the swings, And hop through the rings You would bring it everywhere, To let you not be scared, You act like it’s your best friend, Like it won't mend, But just one day, You start to slip away, You throw it in the closet, Like it's a piece of trash, You leave it sitting there, Sitting there for a year, Then one day you look in your closet, You see the stuffed animal there, And all the memories come back, And you start to crack.
Get up and try again Life is tough. With its ups and downs twist and turns, Life will put you down, When you're in the hole, not feeling well, You have to feel better. Climb out of the hole and try again, When you plummet back in the hole Get up, And get out of it again. Just one time, It will be hard to get out, When you fall back in when trying to get out, Don’t stop trying, Until you escape. Life is a seesaw, Sometimes you're on the up side, And others you're on the down side, But always keep trying, No matter, what, happens.
