A Poem About the life of a soldier and how cruel it can be.
The soldiers mind is full of guilt
Nightmares of people crying out
And of all the blood he has spilt
Another brick in the wall of doubt

Soon forgetting what to fight for
Wondering so lonely at his core
Going mad in the face of war
Into his soul this battle tore

Willing to risk their life for friends
Only loved when they kill
Nobody forgiving them for their sins
Painful screams their mind would fill

Wondering what the bullets solve
Thoughts of home filling their head
Around the soldier this world does revolve
Waiting for peace but he is dead...
