Soldiers

Soldiers.

They are trained to kill.

They are trained to be tough.

Are they tough?

Can they really kill?

No.

Soldiers.

They are lonely.

They are weak.

Soldiers.

They endure.

They hope.

They dream.

Soldiers.

They will march to the ends of the earth.

They will defend what they believe.

Soldiers.

They protect the innocent.

They shed their blood for the innocent.

Soldiers.

They grieve for their comrades.

They dream of better lives.

Soldiers.

They do not want to be soldiers.

They do not want wars.

Soldiers.

They want respect.

They want peace.

Soldiers.

They endure.

They are not tough.

They do want to kill.

They want peace.

They want respect.

They want love.

Soldiers.

Soldiers.

Soldiers will march on.
