When a Soldier Dies

When angels cries
are heard from earth
and God himself 
is weeping.
When tears of angels
fall as rain
and love is what remains.
throughout the many
hours and days
he sought out his fate,
soldiers die as angels cry.
Life stays in submission
the truth is gone
as time goes on
and we know not
what remains.
