/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stumbling and staggering every which way.
From sunrise to sunset - the stories say.
Lost and beaten, broken to the core.
Of this world - a solider no more.
Living an existence of half-truths and lies.
Of love, of children - of apples and pies.
Silenced and bound by a promise made.
Life comes to its ending - a debt finally paid.
Bloody and battered, knees hitting the ground.
Four rings drop - not making a solitary sound.
Opening the gate and standing fast.
Arms spread wide - smiling at last.
Breath-to-breath.
Death-to-death.
…He tumbled…and fell…
The story is over, not much more to tell.
Brother now fights alongside brother.
Two soldiers in hell.
