Soldier Duty

Day and night standing at the border

Border job day and night,

Night sleep prohibited, it’s an order

Order’s given by Commander Nick.

Will do anything for their nation

Nation will be safe and sound

Sound of gunshots near a station

Station is now

A war zone.

Bullet in the leg, doesn’t matter

Matter's who wins, and safe comrades.

Comrade down, blood scattered

Scattered men, comrades going down.

Enemy aims for Commander Nick

Nick does not know, has no clue

Clue’s were not given here I had to react

React I did as I flew.

There the bullet went through my chest,

Chest was paining I still felt blessed

Blessed I was to serve in the army

As the heavy lead sank through my bulletproof chest.

My grandfather inspired me to write this poem because he was a general in the army.
