Your Great Grand-dad

I know your great grand-dad was a brave man as a hero he lived and he died
In battle under the flag of the Nation his fame it is known far and wide
But i beg to differ when you tell me that in cause of peace he traveled far
And under gunfire died in battle fighting in another man's war
Most young men go to war for adventure and a sense of excitement with peace the last thing they have in mind
In a war zone in the heat of battle men of peace you will not find
Men of peace do not shoot at others for to harm maim and kill
Your great grand- dad went to war to kill others and went there of his own will
He may have died as a war hero as heroes die under fire
But it doesn't mean your hero is one that i should admire
The majority of people would agree with what you say
But i am one who begs to differ i don't see things in your way
Your great grand-dad was a brave man of him that cannot be denied
And that he died in a gun battle to you is a sense of pride.
