Warriors for Peace
By William Hull, Air Force
Writing Type: Poem
By William Wyatt Hull
--Paradise, TX
Out of darkness
We strive for peace.
For reprieve, we pray,
And for fighting to cease.
We shout our message.
Does no one care?
For peace, we strive,
As bold as we dare.
No fighting we seek,
For fighting brings death.
Yet we'll perform our duty
Till we breathe our last breath.
An oath we swore
And by it we stand,
To honor our nation
And keep free our land.
