A Soldiers Hope

Just wait, from how far you might be One day I will fight so you can be free. It doesn’t matter if I’m wounded It doesn’t matter if I’m on the brink of Death I will always keep struggling So you can be healthy and safe. I don’t care who the enemy is I don’t care who I have to fight I will have no doubt in giving my life So you can be alive. Im too young for war, where all hope is gone But from now on as a soldier, my innocence is torn I don’t know how far I must go But one day, dead or alive, as a Hero, I will return Home. I hope you don’t forget my name I hope you won’t forget my sacrifice Because besides I must kill and die Everything is for your happiness and life. Every time happens that the most honor full man Is certainly the most lonely one And the one that has to live more Is the one who dies young. My duty is to protect my people My duty is to defend their freedom Anyone who this is their willing Will be received in God’s Kingdom. Every time that the duty calls We are the first ones to go to war And when a young kid has to fight You realize that he will never come back completely alive. We don’t fight just with our weapons We don’t just fight with our guns But when we go to war We have to fight with our hearts and souls. Every war is useless Every war is the same But we are the young kids Who must perish from this Earth, Due to the greed of a few old men. War is the most horrofull thing that can exist} It pulls out a young kid his Beast Within And it breaks our hearts to fill our souls with hatred And that we must be forced to kill. In war absolutely no one survives If our bodies doesn’t get slaughtered Then our souls are the ones who are going to die As we will never be alive, even if our bodies are still intact. We are full of pain inside We are full of hopelessness We are the ones who sacrifice everything for everyone But no one does nothing for ourselves. We don’t have any luxury We don’t have much money But honorfull men like us Have something called “Glory”. We don’t just fight on the battlefield But we fight in every part of our lives Every day we have to keep struggling In order to be able to survive. We have seen the most evil things in the world Just because we decided to go to war Besides our suffering, we can still have the hope To find True Love, which is the only thing Than can save what remain in our souls. I wonder If I will get that hope I hope that I can save my soul Because besides so much fighting and war A soldier can also be able to love. 23/3/2017.
