The Lament of the Fallen Hero Options

[ryfitaDF]

this is an anti war song with the sound of Poison the Well. it's really long, though, so i udnerstand if theres a lack of replies.

THE LAMENT OF A FALLEN HERO
Dear Richie
I hope you’re having a good time in college
But I’m sorry to say I won’t be seeing you again
I need you to do me a favor
Be strong. Tell all my friends I love them
Tell josh to keep ballin’
I know he’ll be in the NBA some day
Tell Mikey he can have my DVDs
And I need you to watch them with him
Cause I won’t be able to make it
And could you please go back to the high school
And talk to Mr. O’Donnell for me
And thank him for teaching me how to be
The best person I could be in a world full of jerks

One last thing: at my funeral
Please write and read a eulogy
Hug my mom when she cries
Tell my brother not to make the same mistakes as me

Dear dad
I did just like Grampa
I fought for freedom
The only difference is I have no use for medals
And I won’t be in any parades
I remember all the family reunions we had
On Memorial Day, Uncle Dennie always ate at least 6 hot dogs
Wow. I never thought the day would come
That on Memorial Day your great grandchildren would remember me
Maybe my name will be on a wall in D.C.
If General Thompson sends you my dog tags
Please put them on the mantle
With a little American flag behind it
Because I love this country
Even though the people in charge
Sent me and my friends here to kill me for their own gain
God bless America, though
My home… home…… I’ll miss you

And one last thing: in my bedroom
In my desk drawer, theres a small, black box
Inside there’s a gold diamond ring
Please give it to Chelsey the next time you see her

Dear Chelsey
Oh, Chelsey
I love you so much
My last heartbeats rightfully belong to you
My father will give you something
I regrettably couldn’t give you myself
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you
I fought so hard, I swear
I fought for us
I fought for the children I wanted to have with you
Atleast that’s what I was telling myself as they…
Nevermind…
But I need you to do me one thing
Whatever you do
Make sure nothing like this ever happens to anyone again
If someone shows interest in signing up
Tell them about me
Tell them about us
Tell them about my family
Crying as they hear the news
And receiving my last paycheck
And explain that their isn’t as much to it as usual
Because I’m dead
I need you to do anything you can
To make sure there is never another war
Because I know what it is
It is hell
No one, no matter how dreadful of a person they are
Deserves this fate
And if you hear on the news of a video
Of a soldiers gruesome… decapitation
Please
For the love of god
Don’t watch it
All that matters is
I am in heaven right now
But it’s hardly a heaven compared to your company
God must have been jealous of us
Because I love you more than he could love anyone
I’ll be waiting here for you
I’ll be waiting. I’ll be waiting.

I’ll be waiting here for you
I’ll be waiting here for you
I’ll be waiting here for you
I’ll be waiting here for you
