The Fallen Soldier by David Materazzi
There he lies with wounds so deep hurt from a blast from his jeep. A man who fought for his country so we the people today could be free.
The sound of gun shots near by taking cover he hopes to try. Waiting for his band of brothers he hopes to survive like many others.
Whats a soldier suppose to do when he fights for someone like me and you. He stands his ground and does not walk away checks his weapon and waits for his prey.
He crawls thru the field on his knees he comes upon a few enemies. They lay their weapons down one by one they beg for mercy as he yells to run.
He drops his weapon to his side he whispers "Enough men have already died." He begins walking and searching for his platoon knowing his survival is limited very soon.
He hears a sound that's just over the hill he moves slowly in for the kill. He looks into his scope surprised to see his platoon and a few enemies.
He walks to them with blood in his face turns around as he yells,"Let's get out of this place."
Note: This poem is about a soldier that gets hurt and seperated from his men but finds the strength to continue to find his platoon. Tired of killing, when he comes upon them, he tells the enemies to drop their weapons and run away. He figures enough men have died and his just wants to go home.
