There is always a reason
This was my fifth day of marching with the brigade
And my legs and arms were already stiff and sore.
We passed through streets and Villes,
that are now reduced to rubble.
Their inhabitants were nowhere in sight, and
the few that i did spot were trembling in fear.
Word gets around the battalion faster than light.
The reports on our enemy's actions are unforgivable.
Some may disagree with war, but
I share the same responsibility
as my brothers who march beside me.
we must fight for whats right and
for those in need and help.

This poem has a very dark, unforgiving mood. I really enjoyed the narrative. You did a good job of giving a soldier's first person perspective on a situation you've never actually been exposed to. I think it's a great poem with alot of insight.
ReplyDeleteVery good use of word choice and good narrative style to give this poem that dark, unforgiving mood. Nice view into the individuals soldiers take on war, and what it was like to be in a batalion. Good work!
