A lion on my left
a tiger to my right
they're sweet
house cats in all actuality
wouldn't harm a fly
until the titles come
and stereotypes must be
perpetuated
so they
with their personalities stripped
keep their vicious reputations
alive
**** for their names
the title that begs them to
"soldier."

This is based off a picture I saw in a history lecture. It got to me and I started writing. It address the humanity of the soldiers fighting, and if they were truly present in that moment or not.
