I recorded this song a few years ago on this not so great recorder. I put it on You Tube for a laugh. Saw this challenge and thought I would participate, even though it is an older poem/song. It’s a song about my dads baitshop he used to have, we used to have all night card games quite often, but for sure always the night before the opening day of trout season which is really popular where I am from, which is western PA. Well I hope you like it anyways it’s just a little story about me and my old dog waitin for the card game. Thanks for listening, if you can make it though the whole song. :)

Lyrics

Sittin around dads place, waiting for the card game, scraping little resin

from my pipe.

I’m kind feeling lucky, hey think that I am due, I hope that lady luck’s

with me tonight.

My dog is at my left side, bowl is in my right hand, I think that I need to

find a light.

But my light is in my other hand, think I’ll take another hit, I hope that

lady luck’s with me tonight.

Well I look out the window, and what do I see, some gorgeous girl

walking down the street. 

Think I should go talk to her, hey man she’s kinda cute, she’s the type of

chic I wanna meet.

But I just seen my dream girl, just a couple minutes ago and I think

she’s the prettiest of all.

I’d do anything to meet her, walk a hundred miles or so, I think that I

would even crawl.

Crawl on my hands and knees, give me your love well wont you please,

when I see you I just melt to the floor,

So why don’t we go hand out, hey lets go have some fun, then we can

go home and lock the door.

War. Is a rather hateful subject to talk about. It can be a very senstive thing to talk about. And it’s the last thing, that anyone wants to talk about during this time. But I find war a very interesting event.

To me, war fascinates me. To see someone build up such a huge popualarity among the people living in a country, kingdom or village. Giving out speeches, condeming other countries and kingdoms of wrong doing’s. Influncing the people who’ve suffered under their rain of terror, to rise up, grab arms and chanting the name of their new leader into power. It fills me with excitment to see a person having the ablity to control the helpless human minds of an entire population to do what ever they want.

It thrills me to see a single person giving out speeches and talk about the turth of what’s happening around the world. Even when the people elect that one person as their new leader, king or baron of the land, they soon start building plans on how dominate their enemies and conqouer their lands. It fills me with shivers to see the most powerful person using his or her voice to train their armies, build their economy and use the tactics of war to over run their enemy’s army and push towards their capitol.

It excites me to see a large rail way gun fire a six-ton shell at a well fortified fortress and seeing it’s destructive power, unleashed upon the enemy soldiers who so desperately try to defend every crumbling brick of whats left of their defenses, only to get cut to pieces by the charging forces of the enemy soldiers.

The life of a new recruit preparing for war, can be a brutal and long process. Building up a sense of trust among the other soldiers, learning to fight the enemy at close range, working as a team and doing the duty of what every soldier has drilled in their head. And as they make their way to reach the battlefield, amping up their willingness to do their job. The war finds them, creating massive confusion and disarry among the new recruits. Seeing their friends get mowed down by cavalry, cannons or machine guns.

There are many words that war creates through the many years of the past conflicts. Building the many tools of war and using them to scorch the face of the earth in order to please their leaders, is a mere event of what they want to achieve. Burning the towns and cities in order to send a message to your enemy’s leader, and let them witness the horrors of war as they slip into defeatism, is what fulfills the leaders as dominance over there enemy.

War is fascinating event to me, but no one including myself should ever have to go through they many horrors of war and be scared for life until death comes knocking on your door and take away from your on going nightmare. But there could be a day where war is inevitable, and we could thrown into a struggle for our own survival, both and military and civilian. However, it will teach us to never go through it ever again.
