Hold Fire

does it really help whats happening
because i feel its making it worse

you stand there, your uniform and hat placed on your head
lying in the dirt
waiting for the sign
for the life or death situation

the guns blast
and someone loses their life in a flash
you think nothing of it, just how lucky you feel to be alive

letters home, you tell them youre safe and well
but how do you really feel?
are you enjoying yourself in the rain?
do you like killing men because they are from another country?
the thought of never seeing the ones you love doesnt worry you in the slightest?

just Hold Fire and ask yourself..
why?
is it really necessary?

hand in your weapon and return to the life you had
with pride
dignity
and the thought of it all ending
