This is what I gave
                  My Life
because my first thought was
to be a hero
to stand up
and shut down
the enemy
save my country
save
the helpless
and I would return
victorious
brave

This is what I saw
blood
hundreds
and hundreds
innocent dead men
blood
Hell
my closest comrade
both legs
left hand
blown off
Hell
blood gushing from
his mouth
his forehead
his chest

This is what I left
my mother
my father
four sisters
one little brother
