Don't do war

Hey guys!
This is a poem about A Confederate Soldier's Boot writing to Future Generations about Lessons Learned from the War


All I see is mud
And blood
There's a corpse
And look
I can see a dead horse

I am a boot
Leather and soft
Splattered with my comrades blood
Spilled by the Union

My owner runs fast
I pound against the ground
Thump, Thump, Thump
I jumped over another dead soldier

Kids, don't do war
Don't fight your brother
Or your mother
Or any of your family
It's just not right

I wish we didn't have to fight
To paint with blood
To stain the earth
I just wanted to live a sweet boot life

We didn't want much
Us Confederates
Just to keep our businesses running
And yes
I guess
We did need our slaves

But now I know
And kids, trust me
Stay in school
Be nice to your brother
And don't hold slaves
