THE SOLDIER

A hero I was aiming to be

hearing the trumpets of war

Glory I was longing to find

ignoring what Fate had in store

 

Willing my life to sacrifice

for the sake of the common goal

Available to pay the price

offering nothing less but my soul

 

Now that I lie on the ground

watching my guts pouring out

hearing the death knell’s sound

not even able for help to shout

 

And the statesmen as I consider

honoring me, the Soldier Unknown

I realize their hypocrisy and lies   

Fake were the dreams I used to own
