Eulogy of the Soldier

I am the curious doom bringer.
So too my vicious dead ringer.
Fooled into believing I'm in a state of ease.
I take a shotgun to all and kill as I please.

In the blackest name of justice artificial.
I do away with beauty and the superficial.
Bodies drop as spirits take their leave.
Call me back because now I can't breathe.

Destruction is my one and only name.
Reflection only makes me more insane.
Fascist individuals make their presence known.
Shocked are they to see how much I've grown.

There's a flaming bridge between the buried and me.
Pretending I'm overreacting and the same are we.
They write me off as simple yet very flawed.
And I write back 'Where is your fucking God?'

So I ran through those searing flames.
Reloading the gun and firing the blames.
My flesh ignited and melted away.
As I once again became the stray.

The bridge collapsed from beneath my feet.
And there my body laid out there on the street.
I rose to my feet, glad that I wasn't dead.
I looked out and saw a trail leading ahead.
