Ruined by the Battle

The battle is over.
One side has one, the other has lost.
A soldier stands
His limbs are intact, his brain is sound
A soldier stands ruined
His heart is beating, his lungs still pump
The soldier is ruined.
It doesn’t matter which side won, or which side lost
Or which side the ruined soldier stands with
The battle is over
That’s what they tell him
Yet he stands
Ruined.
