I Am Just a Soldier

Never thought of making weapons, But I’ve been called an expert, Others are suspect for their skills, The hackers; magicians; tyrant. I am the same guy with a heart, Although I’ve been hurt So were my victims, Nothing that’s recognized Can state otherwise, I am human too With a shining pure soul. Maybe my patriotism turned And to you that's cruelty But I still see myself As a citizen too, I am a soldier! And if need be I shall die for my country
