Soldier of Misfortune

Charging this battlefield, weapon in my hand,
Only enemies do I see, it's man against man.

Adrenaline makes me invincible, a warrior I've become,
I blast through walls, my heart a beating drum.

Bullets fly, people die, voices cry,
through this disaster I manage to survive.

Corpses surround me, but I continue, never looking back,
Up ahead my target, I am ready to attack.

Eyes locked, muscles tense, blood is burning hot,
I raise the barrel, pull the trigger and fire a round of shots.

I march on my mission,....one after another they fall,
Weakened, I drop to the ground, crawl, then pause to think about it all.

Silence overcomes, my body's cold, my vision blurry,
I struggle to get up, now tears take over fury.

Paralyzed,..... I can't move any more,
I realize what is happening, but why am I fighting this war,
What am I dying for?
