The War is Over

The war they say is over
And over, and over, and over
It doesn't seem to go away
Images pop up night and day
Innocents killed unnecessarily
Definitely I object conscientiously
Military psychologists can't help me
They label me according to policy
God help me push past the past
Wash it away, make it no longer last
Cleanse me by the blood of Jesus
Holy Spirit come liberate and free us
Veterans are bombarded in their brain
The screams reverberate with pain
Repeatedly and continually the same
Come someone and break the chains
Don't call me a hero. Don't give me fame
Just give me back my childlike innocence
Help me forget the grotesque violence
By which I mercilessly killed the living
God graciously give me a heart that's giving
I'm filled with grief and dire misgiving
I need comfort, nurturing, and forgiving
I've disregarded humanity with profanity
Recklessly maimed and murdered brutally
Fighting for my life got the best of me
Help wretched, messed up me just be
Dwell and exist in society peaceably
Sweep away the fixation paralyzing me
My soul is entrenched in calamity
My heart is engrossed in the military
The killing fields continually bloody
Break me free from my mental anguish
Affirm me so this guilt I can relinquish
I'm vexed deep within and want to vanish
Dying deep inside I just want to perish
If the war is really over, help me crossover
Into my personal promised land and inheritance
Send the power of the resurrection and resilience
Uplift me from the mental muck and mire
Ignite within me the fresh fire of desire
Perpetual thoughts of war do make me tire
I feel trigger happy like an explosive live wire
Rid me of the militant mindset so I can acquire
Gentleness, self-control, and be made whole
I must regain what from me this war stole.
