The Everlasting Battle

I stand behind my shield and sword on the battlefield. It’s silent, but at the same time loud. You ask how can it be loud, but silent at the same time? Yes, it is confusing, but it’s true. The loudness of all warriors both allies and enemies battle cry at the top of their lungs. Sword to shield clanking metal to metal and the slashing of swords. The night is silent with no one uttering a word, but the endless battle cries of warriors. There is no wind, rain or even fires, but if there were, I bet they would be silent. No one seems to get mercy, not even the kids who are forced into this senseless war.

I glance at the sky once just wondering when all this pain and suffering will end. To no avail I still have no answer, to my question of when this ridiculous war ends. I never wished for conflict once in my entire life, but I never thought it was peaceful either though. How wrong I was thinking that, now I understand that I was wrong in every concept. Now my only desire and wish is to return to my peaceful life I had before all this conflict began.

This war it’s horrible, it ends many lives, destroys lives and it results in nothing but an everlasting battle. I want nothing to do with war, but I have no choice. I am a soldier of this war, this horrific battle, that is not under any human understanding. Everyone wishes for the same thing freedom to live their life peacefully, but yet the war still rages. If we have the same wish, you would think there would be no war, but that is naïve. My sword fights for me, while my shield protects me, my body is strong to never to be defeated by this horrible pain of war. I may have said war too many times, but that’s only because it has a large affect on our lives. I can’t handle this war anymore, but all I want is to return home!
