Soldier - My Spirit - Contest

Soldier (My Spirit- Contest) A soldier steps calmly into battle as a warrior The field is littered with the dead No rifle or bible in that moment can protect Friends fallen, to simply nourish fear To feed the real estate conquest Blood fills the need for more war More precious than a human life Being born is what it is all about…no more Bullets to graze the face and shoulder pain Looking up; enlightened to sensibility Golden sun framed in perfect blue Casting objections on the day The Soldier stands stronger in the face of evil Takes energy and solace in the sun’s embrace Created on 5/10/15 for -Show Me Your Spirit – Poetry Contest Sponsored by: FJ Thomas
