h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

We kill to put the world to right
come my heroes, come join the fight
we`ll give you a uniform, and even a gun
you`ll feel six feet tall, killing is fun
we`ll give you medals when the enemies run
so take the kings shilling, say goodbye to your mum
I took it, I went, I had a uniform,I had a gun
I didn`t feel six feet tall, the enemy didn`t run
they ran at me, they shot at me, God i miss my mum

So it`s over the top with a tally -ho-hay
the enemy open fire and blow them all away
they`re only young people in the prime of thier life
but what do you say to thier children and wife
you say "he was a hero, we`re sorry that he`s dead"
he`s lying in a ditch somewhere with a bullet in his head

So now the war is over, the memories subside
the allies are our enemies, the enemy on our side
but what about the Tommy, as gallantly he fought
this sickened world we live in, is what poor Tommy bought..

Hi Jinty yes i did write it and i have quite a few more that i have written and had published in a college magazine..plus a few that i consider as personal thought poems..i have all the origional draughts of the poems in a big thick folder..i`m glad you enjoyed it and i thought i would share it with people as a recomended guide entry but not sure how to get it swapped over from my journal..it did seem appropriate to share it with the current conflict going on in Iraq..

hi marc
i think your very clever why dont you get them published in a book i'm sure it would do well
i'll take back all i said about you youve hit my emotional nerve i'll be greetin all night now jinty

As i said Jinty a lot of them are personal and some are dedicated to people so if i was to have them published i would probably have to change bits and that would lose the meaning but i will
try to get one or two of them on the ld poems and quotes page for people to read..

hugged marc
god that poem was moving sweetheart :O(
u know my feeling on war anyway so i wont sound off about then yet again
but in the words of John Lennon Give Peace A Chance
massive hugs and a mwah speak soon sweetheart
luv jacqui xxxx
