Soldier Poems | Examples of Soldier Poetry

Fighting alongside the enemy

Disposable.
Just like the bodies scattered 
As unimportant as the soldiers blood splattered
A black man stands watching violence unfold
Not to the enemy 
But those who fought close
Those your supposed to trust
Comrades 
Yet somehow 
The black man 
Is on the receiving side of the bullets 
Not by the opposition
But by those claiming to be on the same

Sober Soldier

Sobriety does not keep you high, instead it keeps you dry, unable to be satisfied.

Boots On The Ground

8/4/2025

They put on uniforms of courage, at every dawn.no matter, the weather,
Out, in great spiri they come  out each dawn!
For this act is for honor of Messiah you,whom His children and His lands, 
These young, are the real heroes and the fully sworn!
And to their country, the tiny size of the state of New

Soldier of the Forest

the evergreen casts a full shadow, a grayscale vision
she has served as camouflage for raccoons, mice, and snakes
a soldier of the forest, standing against the north winds
showing the woods what a true patriot looks like
animals depend on her confidentiality, security and discretion.

LOVE FOR THE VETERANS

Love for the veterans
I don't know what to say
I never fought in a war
But I saw what our veterans went through
On television and how the war grew
I say people all over the world praying
And I also heard a lot of critics on what they were saying
People pray for love and end the war
There were a

Warriors

Mothers don't let your children
grow up to be soldiers
and march off to battle
without remorse or of course
a thought of regret
to get in the way
boys playing follow the leader
'We're only following orders'
the young may say
yet greed and stupidity
is the name of the game
either for land or in God's name
history has taught nothing
on judging it seems
and trudging

Tokens

A flag draped box on titanium stand
Bears all that remains of a noble man
A father’s pride, a mother’s grief
A widow’s tears without relief
A son whose memories begin to fade
As the soldier is solemnly laid
The torment a brief eternity
Brought by war infernally
Driven by other men’s desires
We raise yet more funeral pyres
And watch again our young men

Proud To Serve

I’m proud to serve, that’s true as hell,
But sometimes I wonder why we’re here to rebel—
Not against the mission, not against the fight,
But the brass and the game that fogs up the right.
They say it’s a brotherhood, shoulder to shoulder,
But I see ‘em slicked up, gettin' rank over the bolder.
The ones who dodge grime, fresh-pressed

No More War

No More War

Marching boots echo
no birds sing in the  
shattered valleys.

Children’s toys buried
beneath the smoking ruins
where  are they ?

Flags wave in triumph,
but mothers get folded notes
instead of sons.

Steel birds above us
drop fire with no memory
earth weeps sorrowfully

A soldier's last breath
drifts with dust into the wind
nameless in the dark.
.
No victor remains
when the fields are

violets soldier

violets soldier
spongy moss tickles her feet
she drops her acorns

Memorial

One day a year to mark a sacrifice profound
One day a year to visit the ground
One day a year for the bugle to sound
One day a year a nation’s memory is found
Hardly enough for the terrible cost
Hardly enough for the lives that were lost
One day a year for the flags to adorn
One day a year

After the March

"After the March"

Almost eight years, the flags have flown,
A soldier's wife, yet so alone.
Eight years of heartache, silent cries,
Of wiping tears and telling lies
Like "I'm okay," when I was breaking,
Like "We’re fine," though barely making.

Stress clung tight like second skin,
While I held the outside in.
Weight I carried on my soul,
Filling both the mom and dad

Army 250th Birthday, A Time

A time,
that we celebrate two hundred fifty years
A time,
filled, with sweat, shed blood, and tears.
A time,
when many answered their country’s call.
A time,
when many, were required to give their all
A time,
when many were called to fight in foreign wars
A time,
for beach landings on some far away shores
A time,
that I see “an arouse my memory” parade
A time,
for

Poppy Fields

Flying over the front lines
with the French Escadrille Lafayette
a brown and barren belt below
a strip of murdered nature and yet
during the warm months of spring and summer
seeds in the shattered ground would grow
delicate vibrant crimson flowers
in row after row after row
and in those poppy fields
that's how we remember them
all the fallen soldiers
those unforgotten gallant men
tho'

Madness To The Method

They dressed me in dust and called it a uniform,
Handed me thunder stitched in steel,
Told me the sky breaks different
When you pull the trigger.

I was nineteen,
Still dreaming in my mother’s accent,
Still soft in the places
They'd soon carve into callous.

War, they said, was order—
A hymn of strategy and sweat,
A chessboard with bones for bishops
And pawns that
