Soldier - My Spirit - Contest
Soldier (My Spirit- Contest)
A soldier steps calmly into battle as a warrior
The field is littered with the dead
No rifle or bible in that moment can protect
Friends fallen, to simply nourish fear
To feed the real estate conquest
Blood fills the need for more war
More precious than a human life
Being born is what it is all about…no more
Bullets to graze the face and shoulder pain
Looking up; enlightened to sensibility
Golden sun framed in perfect blue
Casting objections on the day
The Soldier stands stronger in the face of evil
Takes energy and solace in the sun’s embrace
