Angel Of A Soldier
What's with all this blood shed?
wait,
why do I see so much red?
Why is there so much artillery?
What's with all these soldiers,
marching in twos and threes?
Why is there a group of boys,
crowding around over there?
What is laying on the ground,
and why do these boys, there tears, they share?
Why do I seem to be floating?
I need to get back to my mother, dear.
Wait,
Why am I even here?
Who's that young man I see lying there?
and why does he have a hole beneath his hair?
Hold on,
I think I know him.
Yes, but wait.
oh no, that's me. That's who's lying there,
there beneath that tree,
with those boys crowding around him,
sharing there tears about me.
No, no, no. That can't be me.
I'm right here!
Can't you see?
No! Why am I leaving?
I can't be dead,
I've barely started living!
No! I don't want to go!
I've got a whole life ahead of me.
Please, please, can't I stay?
If your not going to listen, good-bye can I at least say?
Good-bye Mother. Good-bye Father.
Good-bye Sister, Grandma, and Daughter.
I love you all, and I'll miss you forever.
And up in heaven, stop waiting for you, I will never.
