Ready to kill

by a broken smile with a broken heart is a poets life   Feb 25, 2008


In the eyes of the enemy you don't know what to think.
When you have that gun leveled at your eye,
You think of the meaning for your deeds.

To do for your country is what you want.
To murder your enemy is your plan.

So you try to ignore he's human just like you are.
And he has a family waiting for him on the other side.

You are ready to fight,
You are ready to protect,
but inside you are dying to get it over with and not care that the man standing in front of you has a life just like you do.

    Sad things is, they hardly ever forget their sins. Well written. Flows nicely, and is somber, which keeps the mood of the piece.
