A little boy
Saw his
Dog die

His parents
Didn't know
How to tell him

But he said
It learnt to
Be selfless

Because

Once you learn
To be selfless
Your time here

Is complete
And you go
To paradise

He said
That's why
We live here for so long.

They say the bleeding kills
But people will argue
It is the bullet that kills

So 
They say the bullet kills
But people will argue
It is the gun that kills

So
They say the gun kills
But people will argue
It is the man who pulls the trigger that kills

So 
They say it is the man who pulls the trigger that kills
And people will say 
That man is a murderer, he kills

So
The people will protest, he kills
The politicians will agree
The policeman will arrest him, he kills

But people forget
The soldier fights for the people's rights to protest
The soldier fights under the orders of politicians to go to war
The soldier fights for the policeman's rights to arrest him
And so much more

So
You see a killer, I see someone defending their nation
You see a murderer, I see a hero
You see a man who should be put behind bars because he killed?
I see a man who did what no one else had it in them to do

Sometimes 
Wrong and right isn't like black and white
Wrong and right isn't like sweet and sour
Wrong and right isn't like hot and cold

Sometimes,
There's a grey area
There's a blur area
There's right in the wrong 

Sometimes 
You gotta do the wrong to do the right
But the minute you do the wrong
All people see is the wrong 
Even if it's for the right

That's our society today
They want the right
But they won't do the wrong 

Maybe you’re not the literal soldier
Maybe you’re not bearing arms
Maybe you’re not killing people

Sometimes
You gotta do the wrong to do the right
You’ll be criticized
You’ll be judged
You’ll be hated

But deep down
You did what so many others didn’t have it in them to do
You stood up for what you believed in
You fought for your rights

And that
Makes you a soldier as well
