A Soldier
I am the soldier firing his gun,
As the bullet travels it kills only one,
Moving so fast, dying so slow,
Being in pain from the final blow,
The soldier then fires a shot,
All of the lessons you were taught,
Couldn’t save you from the danger,
You are about to die by a stranger,
Begin to faint and become weary,
Eyes starting to turn very teary,
Losing your senses one by one,
Until you finally hear his gun.
-Nation Geographic, January 1974
