Me
The battlefield is filled with blood,
Washing the whole field like an ocean that will never end,
My comrades kill to defend themselves,
I kill to survive
My enemies watching my steps,
Seeking to end my life,
A treasure to be coveted,
My enemy, out of bullets,
Calling to his comrades to help him preserve his life,
His life at the tips of my fingers,
A young man of his generation ending lives for glory,
My nephew and he, the same age,
Different directions in life,
I can't bring myself to end a young man's life in cold blood,
What does that make me?
