Soldiers Eyes

 I've seen death so much its embedded in my memory.

Now I'm seeing it several feet ahead of me.

I wonder do I run fire my gun or let it be.

No I am a soldier I have a rhythm I have a beat I have a melody.

I will fight I will I not go to the light.

I have a life to live and a family to see.

Death will not get me even if it is several feet ahead of me.

Not now not today not yet.
