TheWar

The War

I stood in line

With the other

New recruits

Waiting for orders

I was sent to the front line

Full of energy

I charged

Hoping to make a difference

I swung my blade

Ferociously at the foe

Continuing to swing

Because I was useless

After all of that work

The enemy bore not a scratch

I fatigued quickly

Letting my guard down

Then it struck

Black claws stuck in my side

I screamed in panic

And fell to my knees

Hoof beats came thundering

And I looked up

To see a golden light

Obliterate the beast

I tried to stand

To help once more

But the world began to spin

And I was plunged into darkness

I awoke in a bed

Fellow soldiers

Bandaging my wound

Helping it to heal

Soon I was ready

To attack once more

Only this time

I wasn't alone

Experienced fighters

Stood by me

Energized me

Helped me

Still, I'll never forget

The General that saved me

That picked me up

And brought me to allies

One day fairly soon

When this war is over

We'll all see the General

Standing high atop a hill

He'll sheath his sword

Once and for all

And so will we

When the war is over

After all of that

I'll speak with Him

Thank Him

Praise Him

I don't know

The battle plans

Or when

The fighting will stop

The plans are strange

At first

The plans are perfect

At last

Only He knows

What will become of me

Or when the fighting

Will cease forevermore
