War Never Fought

In a battle field ready to fight
my conscience is not at rest
until darkness prevails on my sight
scared with my gun on my chest,
I look forward not to fight.
Taking a life is like a  pest
to the creation of light,
A service which I'm not at my best
but  I prefer to live a life of plight.
