Soldier
Wounded and alone I sit here
A lone warrior on a death ridden battle field
Clinging onto what hope I have of a normal life
For I only know pain and suffering
I follow others only because it serves my needs
I am no longer human but also not a monster just something in between
I wish to leave this life behind but would I do out there
Now yelling at the dead strewn around me but no answer came.
Then as if I died my Valkyrie floats down in a pillar of light
Soon Im floating up inside the light as I pass out
I awake in a white room my body aches all over
My Valkyrie walks in “Am I dead?” I ask
I get a beautiful smile and a nod no as she checks my wounds
That’s when it comes to me I should no longer kill but instead heal
These big strong hands could easily pick up the healing arts.
Now years have passed and I have the life I always wanted
Yet again I find myself on a battlefield facing a old friend
This time though death is my enemy not my friend
His weapons are biological and germ based far worse then any gun or bomb.
