Soldier

We Stare into the pit
And emotions explode like geysers down under
The scarlet solution in our veins boils over
Drumrolls of the army's boots rattle in your heart
Clenching our fists like loaded guns
We march into the page of history which will be written...
We engage in a war needing neither ammuntion nor humanity...

Again and again we tear at each other...

Again and again we misuse our god given hands...

Again and again we fall to our knees only to rise and be beaten up again...

And the aftermaths are always predictable
Soldiers with green fatigues are now tainted with red
Some will break and some will know
I think what we did was right...
It's for the brotherhoood, isn't it...

"Drumrolls of the army's boots rattle in your heart" The beat & rhythm of gun-grey bullets bleeds as beautiful as blue music, the pulse of red... Sigma sigma sigma be w/ you! Bravo!

incredibly searing and evocative poem exploding fourth with moral force. Like a 21st century Wifred Owen..I have the feeling you are a gutsy writer with no bounds, shall enjoy your posts no doubt..Col.

"Clenching our fists like loaded guns" again, terrific imagery & wording, i really liked this..the last two lines struck me as being kind of sad..like you were almost reminding yourself of what you were doing..excellent.
