Fight

He fought for glory He fought to kill Trained in battle Broken rebuilt will Once an innocent Now a master Following orders No matter the disaster Women , children Clad all in black Strange lands of sand No plan of attack Reinvent reality Dreams are red Blood splatters Too many to count dead Retreat go back Set up the board again Draw another map Search for a different end Once so young Now so grown Memories of yesterday all gone but what you are told Reinvented redesigned Where did you go? Life's' journey passed you What have you to show? Metals pinned on your chest Hands raised high Your a hero now young man You did not die.
