The Veteran and the Young Soldier

The Veteran and the young soldier

I have seen war inside out.
                                                       The war is something I barely know about.

I had to beat a man and watch him die.

                                                        Just loosing someone would be sheer horror. 

I shot a gun and thrown a grenade.
                                                        I can’t aim, my skill may not gain.

I fought in bullets.
                                            It’s my turn now I’ll answer the call and did not fall.

I have done my part and I have no regrets.
                                                         I can't back down now I'll do my best
