Finish What We've Started, Dear Brother
(America's Poem to Britain)
My gun is pointed at his face,
My hands are shaking, my head is spinning…
There's no backing out now.
I won't let my people suffer no more.
I am going to finish what I have started.
He looks weak and tired there on the groung…
But his eyes speak a whole other story.
He's trying to be strong;
Trying to deny defeat…
Even though he is outnumbered in men
And in weapons.
I am going to finish what I have started.
My men stand behind me,
Breathing heavy and uneven.
We've been fighting for days, weeks, months…
I won't let them go home beaten and scarred.
I am going to finish what I have started.
As I stare down at this man on the ground,
I feel a pang in my chest.
This man is the one who raised me…
He loved me, fed me, and taught me right from wrong…
He loved me;
Made me the hero I am today!
I shake the feelings for this man away.
I am going to finish what he has started.
I swallow hard and inhale a shaky breath.
"All I wanted was my freedom,"
I tell him as he stands.
He looks me in the eye and smiles ever so slightly,
Tears evident in his eyes.
"Then finish what we've started, dear brother."

A/N: I actually wrote this for an English assignment :P We had to pick a historic event, then research it, and then we had to write a poem about it…I just watched Hetalia: Axis Powers again. xD Hopefully I get a good mark!
