Line by line..............(about soldiers dying in war)

Stands up tall
arms at his side
just like all the others
line by line

just a sea of green
guns at their sides
blank expressions
staring eyes

one at the front
giving the orders
to the men
line by line

then i see
the one lone soldier
standing, expressionless
tears rolling down his cheeks

gun over his shoulder
knife in his belt
prepared for anything
thats not how he felt

only then did he realise
and by then it was too late
like all the others
line by line

on they march
to the front line
where they get shot down
line by line

*someone very close to me was going to join the army but thankfully didnt. i know its not all death but thats always there.......................
