I
Have
Sadness
In my heart
Sorrow
For when
Families
Were destroyed
Pain
For when
My men
Died
Grief
For when
Thomas
Died
Anger
For when
Innocent children
Were murdered
Victory
For when
My men and I
Won battles
I felt the loss
Of my men
When their families
Were killed
I feel
Hatred
When I hear the sound
Of crying children
I felt
Overwhelming despair
When I held Gabriel's body
In my arms
Do my feelings really matter?
Or is it the feelings
Of my country
That matter the most?
