Plastic Army Men with Souls...
***********************************

We are green and plastic.

Come in a large plastic bag.

Toys to boys and girls we are had.

We carry guns, knives, swords, and gernades.

Children staging a waring play.

We kill, we mame, we fight, we die.

Some of us are broken and trying to understand why?

Why do parents, friends, and relatives buy?

If we could speak- we'd tell you this...

War is not a game.

Teaching the children to play this game.

What!!! Are you all insane?

We would rather not yeild these weapons.

Nor would we teach the children these lessons.

If we could just pick our lives to play-

We'd surely pick a more peaceful way!!!

Nice one, Miss T

heheheeeeeeeeeeee my son would love that poem.....I swear he still plays with those things but wont admit it!!!

Really good :)

Its funny though, I never taught him these things. I was very anti gun anti war etc but Im thinking its a male thing because he wanted them so bad and I think grandma bought him his first set of army men...

I remember playing army soldiers, it was like only yesterday,,rat-a-t-a-t-a-t-a-t,,booom/boooom/ very similar to the girls playing Barbie,,ver-r-r-y similar,,(squints)
Nice poem!;)

I remember playing with my brothers little army dudes...

only I used them for bb gun practice.

While writting this- I was trying to do it as if these
little men had souls... Had to think!

Thankyou for reading!
