Destruction's hope
By Undertaker
Stumbling through a world launched in ciaos
Each
pathway surrounded, battles,.. deaths bitter win, bloody
losses
A man, thought not to have a heart, Staggers
bitterly down a blank road
These yellow eyes watch from
a distance, The gate keeper, his past grips hold
If
only some knew the slaughter this man has seen.
Starting
to fall, rocks slice, as he hits his knees
Fighting
for breath, Eyes filling with tears
The lives he’s taken,
screaming echo’s in his ears.
A short
while, with the passing of time
Struggles to his feet,
shattered heart, full of crime
Keep
walking, whispers through his head
Why wasn’t it me?
I’m the one that should be dead
Noises
present from the distance
A young child, this is known,
that instant
A city rampaged by war
with no other souls around
Slowly collapsing to the ground
This man, thought once not to have a heart
Walks her way, She isn’t very far
She
cries out screaming for her parents
Kneeling down, hug’s
her, making hope apparent
Slowly once
again returns to his feet
Stretches fourth a hand, she
takes hold, smiling he says walk with me
Nothing
but torment, destruction, and death lies ahead
But
now a new pathway never to be mislead
Clutch
this bond, let it take hold
a new chance and story
to be told

That was an amazing read. Thank you Undertaker for posting that, the ending is what makes it wonderful. I've heard the hopeless questioning of soldiers wondering why they be spared, but adding the hope of something possibly beautiful - 2 people finding each other can help each other find answers or at least solace in a world of violence and chaotic carnage...beautiful - XXOO
