War
Stuck in these trenches,
Just one step closer to Hell,
I long for my family,
It's been too long to tell.
I've followed my orders,
Stared Death in the eye,
It was my fault alone that
The young girl had died.
These victims are people,
They live and laugh too,
But orders are orders,
I know what to do.
The villiage was peaceful,
Untouched and pure,
I blew them away,
As an opposing country of war.
The sky above grows dark,
The colors tinting red,
Like the blood that I've spilled,
The blood of the dead.
My conscience is tainted,
My mind is impure,
They will haunt me forever,
The casualtities of war.
