"Borus thinks upon a piece of war"



"It's after the Zexen-Karayan battle that in a room of Brass castle, an officer takes out his sword and ponders."

What does a soldier do with his life?
Does he repent and spend his days mourning,
And are his actions indebted to his bloody knife,
Or does destiny a new victim bring?

Can a soldier bless his heart, it's still pumping?
Shall he smile at the day he's survived again,
With the fact that he's still somewhat living,
Or does he pray for his lost soul, then?

Is a soldier looking to the rest of his days?
Seeing a forecast of sunny skies after the rain,
Counting, of things to do, the many ways,
Or does he the grave ahead of him, where lain?

Would a soldier think of God in war?
Does he think of heaven ahead for his deeds,
Of clean cloth replacing the ones battles tore,
Or does he no longer find any spiritual needs?

Is a soldier a living breathing human?
Can he think like a man and rationalize,
Remember he's protecting his country's den,
Or did he already go through his demise?

"When his thoughts are over, he sheaths his sword. He exits his room and castle and strolls to the local tavern, where he meets his associates and hopes to drink his mind away.



This sucked, didn't it? Sorry bout' that. I drunk a little too much coffee and was on a caffeine high, remembering someone that died earlier. Blame having nothing to do on a Saturday morning.
