Rest In Peace Army Specialist Joseph A. Kennedy

To The Protesters

 

For all the free people that still protest, you’re welcome

We protect you and you are protected by the best.

Your voice is strong and loud, but who will fight for you?

No one standing in your crowd.

 

We are your fathers, brothers, and sons

Wearing the boots and carrying the guns

We are the ones that leave all we own,

To make sure your future is carved in stone

We are the ones who fight and die

We might not be able to save the world,

Well at least we try

 

We walked the paths to where we are at

And we want no choice other than that

So when you rally your group to complain

Take a looking the back of your brain

In order for that flag you love to fly,

Wars must be fought and young men must die

 

We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear

If that’s not respected, we would rather stay here

So please stop yelling and put down your signs

And pray for those behind enemy lines.

When the conflict is over and all is well

Be thankful that we chose to go through hell.
