A Soldier's Duty

The soldier stands at attention,
As he readies the next annihilation,
Fighting for the freedom of our land,
Awaiting his last command.

Rushing out to meet them all,
With no room for any stall,
Defending our nation strong,
Without a notion of how long.

Family and friends gather round,
As we honor the renowned,
Troops fighting for our lives,
Making sure our nation thrives.

Sadly, he's fighting only because the heirarchy, on both sides, could not learn to compromise. He's not fighting for freedom, or to save a country. He's fighting because someone else sent him out there to do the dirty work they were too afraid to do. Hopefully, one day, there will be no more soldiers, and no more war.
