Editor: I wrote the following poem about the two recent attacks on Canadian soldiers, in which two soldiers died.
October 2014
How can he treat a soldier this way?
Those who give their lives in service of their country.
How can he treat a soldier this way?
Those who defend us and our freedoms.
Why did they treat our soldiers this way?
Despising the very land of their birth.
Why did they treat our soldiers this way?
Killing our friends, neighbours, fathers and sons.
Those with murderous hearts
Relinquished their freedoms
In exchange for lethal weapons.
They treated our soldiers this way.
