A Soldier In the War

Like a beaten snake, he looks very tough, and he can't smile at all. His food is a gun, and killing for him, it's like a play. He never jokes at all because anytime, he believes not to survive. When hears the bullets his eyes turns to red, and quickly he becomes alert. When it's night, he can't sleep at all though he feels tired. When the rain falls his life becomes hard, and when the sun rise little can change. He faces a hard time because all the times, he suffers like a slave.
