Soldier's Fate

Bloody bodies line the field Piercing cries fill my mind Blood covers my flesh While tears flood my eyes My mind is restless Scattered with thoughts Now I drop to my knees Awaiting my painless execution A .45 settles on my temple Then the hammer is pulled back My mind turns blank Then memories of life and love Flood my mind calming my all Then the trigger is squeezed And my body is at peace As the bullet enters my head My face then hits the bloody soil A solider's fate is to fight for freedom Whatever the cost even that of his own life
