For Now...
Looking up into the heavens
camouflaged upon the ground
using all his sights and hearings
see if others are around
Plants are poisoned by red soil
and metal seeds will not be grown
dirt feel soft against his 'feat
as his body numbs and pain drifts away
Now his tears begin to dry
for all is left for him to die
and then he laughs at his decision
to ask his friends to join the mission
For now...
he is the only one left
and in a few moments
he'll be with them to regret...
