Soldier
Hero of war,
Soldier of peace,
With a heart full of pride,
Yet haunted by the ghosts of
fear,
You carried your armour
To the frontlines of fate
As a newborn blindly enters
the world.
Trained to kill, you aimed
and fired,
Driven by deep-rooted thoughts
of victory;
With each falling target
Came down a fragment of your
soul.
With eyes shrouded by memories
of home,
You bravely sacrificed your
freedom
For the freedom of those you
loved.
You watched Death,
Disguised in enemy colors,
Take away your comrades,
Destroy their hopes, their
dreams, their lives.
You watched Death,
Invincible warrior in the battle
of existence,
Take away your life.
Innocent blood
Shed for the salvation
Of a world which knows not
The true meaning of
Peace.
