What happened is certainly enough to appall.

i'm in the Army and I was forced to go AWOL.

I am disgusted by what happened and it's hard to believe.

Even though my brother was dying, they wouldn't give me leave.

I wanted to see my brother one last time before he died.

I plead with my superiors to give me leave but I was denied.

When it came to my late brother, I thought the world of him.

I went AWOL to be by his side and to tell him that I love him.

Now I'm facing a Court Martial, I'm in trouble indeed.

They turned their backs on me in my hour of need.

Now they're treating me like I committed a horrible crime.

But at least I was able to tell my brother that I love him in time.

A Court Martial and time in prison are what I'll probably receive.

But my superiors were cruel and despicable for not giving me leave.
