Soldier's Fate
Bloody bodies line the field
Piercing cries fill my mind
Blood covers my flesh
While tears flood my eyes
My mind is restless
Scattered with thoughts
Now I drop to my knees
Awaiting my painless execution
A .45 settles on my temple
Then the hammer is pulled back
My mind turns blank
Then memories of life and love
Flood my mind calming my all
Then the trigger is squeezed
And my body is at peace As the bullet enters my head
My face then hits the bloody soil
A solider's fate is to fight for freedom
Whatever the cost even that of his own life
