Soldier

By Rebel_not_Radical

We Stare into the pit
And emotions explode like geysers down under
The scarlet solution in our veins boils over
Drumrolls of the army's boots rattle in your heart
Clenching our fists like loaded guns
We march into the page of history which will be written...
We engage in a war needing neither ammuntion nor humanity...

Again and again we tear at each other...

Again and again we misuse our god given hands...

Again and again we fall to our knees only to rise and be beaten up again...

And the aftermaths are always predictable
Soldiers with green fatigues are now tainted with red
Some will break and some will know
I think what we did was right...
It's for the brotherhoood, isn't it...
