The war starts young, unequally dividing me

There are always casualties in war, I pray I'm not next

A force pushes me here pulls me there, am I alive?

I must be, the war is still raging on.


Lightening flashes and I feel the cold of darkness enclose around me

The devil screams obscenities at me begging me to join his side

I keep my head bowed low, hiding my innocent eyes from corruption



The lies continue until I am deaf

The words don't matter any more

Only what I choose to see is what I believe

The guns fire on and I'm alone, abandoned


They forgot me...

As I lay there ready to die I raise my head


and allow my eyes to take in all they can

I die proud, alone, and corrupt

There are always casualties in war
