One Soldier Tells

Death must be old fashioned way up in the future. Nobody's gonna die. Tell me when. Should I solicit from the reaper? Must I decide with my keeper? Must I still try to be alive? QUIET now must I pretend? Quit now, must I defend? And be rewarded for my rage time and time again. Revision of decisions long past due. Collector's come a calling, where I choose. I refuse to be used as a doorstop refugee ANGRILY laughing as I bandage my open wounds. Tough crowd. No self pity ALLOWED. I'm not delusional. If only please. I'm nocturnal operating without options, ease NEVER leave a man behind ENEMY lines. All who volunteer to follow fall behind, And on my lead. All things HOT HAVE HAPPENED with my breed. I'm a SOLDIER BLACK STALLION, BRED TO SUCCEED. I know one day i'll be going HOME with my brain HOT WIRED and my broad buff Bionic body, introducing my new self to my adoring affectionate family. But for now the fight is on the might IS STRONG. We APPROACHED the enemy Camp on clever phantom Fox FEET. Thinking. Waiting. These DEATH BOUND SOULS are all alone with me and my army. All who volunteer to follow fall in line. .....Waiting, ready we pounce 25 down no PRISONERS, no COMPROMISE. NOW hear this, can't promise you BLUE INDIGO ROSE GARDENS AND SUNSHINE in paradise. JUST know one thing: Stay the COURSE. We will win. We've never Lost. I'm a SOLDIER BLACK STALLION BRED TO SUCCEED.

Alliteration's one of my favorite forms. I'm thinking a few poems could use more of it. This is my favorite line "NEVER leave a man behind ENEMY lines. All who volunteer to follow fall behind," DEEP!!! Enjoyed ~LINDA~
