I wrote this months ago as an assignment for English. I thought I'd put it up here for the heck of it. ^_^ As always, I don't own them. Sigh…
The Soldier
The rain falls on his face,
His Prussian eyes staring blankly.
Out into the blackness of space.
The fallen soldier dies for peace,
His limp hands holding the gun.
The gun that ended his life,
When used by another one.
Friends and woman cry,
While Shinigami takes his soul,
He hadn't told the lie,
When he said peace would happen,
When he would die.
The livid Ischi River.
Limp on the liquid soaked banks,
Those still alive shiver,
As livid waters flow,
The moonlight glinting off,
The blood reddened snow.
The massacre has ended,
The war has long since past,
A rose the only vivid red,
Peace has come at last.
How was it? Review please.
