My compressed shadow 
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams 
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The front rank hold stong,
from where does come the strength?
pushing forward, one step, another,
Keep pushing you red.

black with enemy blood,
All weapons must be fed,

Shattered silence through scattered temperaments...

Not even the one left, whom he felt was a burden

Man so mighty and wise
still has to define this
that another living being's life
has the same value as his 

Boasted, brazened
