Casualty of War Part Xi
No Martyr Here
I will be a martyr
So my brothers say
Yet my stomach
Turns so
I will be a hero to the cause
But only for a day
How did I come to this?
They laughed at me in school
Well I’ll show them
She spurned me
Look at me now
I am a martyr!
I kill so we can rule!
My death will have meaning
Unlike my life
Which is over
As I’ve pulled the pin
Mother, I love you.
