Eyes of Reality

Eyes of confidence Naïve and hardened Advancing on the battlefield Eyes of anguish Discovering the horror Spent upon the blood of war Eyes of hope Peace in reprieve Hold fast to victory’s color Eyes of benevolence Engulfed within anguish Rueful to the melee’s victims Eyes of regret A human understanding Shoveling over another grave
