A SOLDIER

A SOLDIER

 

A man born from flesh and blood

 

Ordered to **** with no regret

 

As the giant cannon ***** fly, screams of terror hollow in the distance trenches

 

In the blistering heat

 

He trudges through the valley of lost souls

 

Looking at death straight in the eye

 

Knowing deep inside there is no surrender

 

Adreline begins to pump through his veins with great heist

 

The sharp splintered ammunition waiting to feed the hungry giant spring gadgets

 

Waiting to rip flesh from bone

 

Behind the trigger he lays analysing the ****** field before him

 

He sees the paralysesd faces of small children, running towards him arms open wide

 

His thinks what can I do

 

He closes his tired eyes for a second, he runs screaming get down

 

Nothing happens, blood starts to flow from his jagged wound

 

He cries out for help lying in empty hole, as vultures fill the clouded sky

 

He knows now his on his own

 

As darkness prevails vanquishing the perfect light

 

He lays his head down to sleep.

 

Droplits of blood soak through morning mist

 

the smell of burnt flesh fills the air

 

He awakes from his deathly sleep to fight another day
