A leaf is an organ of a vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. The leaves and stem together form the shoot.Foliage is a mass noun that refers to leaves collectively.
Typically a leaf is a thin, dorsiventrally flattened organ, borne above ground and specialized for photosynthesis. Most leaves have distinctive upper (adaxial) and lower (abaxial) surfaces that differ in colour, hairiness, the number of stomata (pores that intake and output gases) and other features. In most plant species, leaves are broad and flat. Such species are referred to as broad-leaved plants. Many gymnosperm species have thin needle-like leaves that can be advantageous in cold climates frequented by snow and frost. Leaves can also have other shapes and forms such as the scales in certain species of conifers. Some leaves are not above ground (such as bulb scales). Succulent plants often have thick juicy leaves, but some leaves are without major photosynthetic function and may be dead at maturity, as in some cataphylls, and spines). Furthermore, several kinds of leaf-like structures found in vascular plants are not totally homologous with them. Examples include flattened plant stems (called phylloclades and cladodes), and phyllodes (flattened leaf stems), both of which differ from leaves in their structure and origin. Many structures of non-vascular plants, and even of some lichens, which are not plants at all (in the sense of being members of the kingdom Plantae), look and function much like leaves. The primary site of photosynthesis in most leaves (palisade mesophyll) almost always occurs on the upper side of the blade or lamina of the leaf but in some species, including the mature foliage of Eucalyptus palisade occurs on both sides and the leaves are said to be isobilateral.

Gage and his squad of the 2nd infantry division are a group of soldiers not looking to be heroes, but execute every mission, even if it means death for their friends and brothers. The Hill must be taken.
Genres: Short, War,All I ever wanted
Was a chance but you
Are never one to change
All of the excuses
That I've heard from you
Are as tired as they are lame
Cannot rhyme nor reason with
Your actions anymore
Oh I guess I should be leaving
I won't miss you when you're gone
If you care about me
Iike you say you do
Then why are we this way
Care for no one else
Except yourself it's true
No matter what you say
Chorus
And all those promises you've made
Were never kept
You know you're lyin'
When you say that you forgot
That you'd for - oh
Just go away, just go away
