I wrote this almost immediatly after I finished reading Ender's Game... it's my first post for this genre... I DO write mostly poetry.... so, here goes.

DISCLAMER...THING: Roses be red, Violets be blue, me no own, so you know sue.

*********************************
The Lonely Soldier

The lonely soldier
Fights best-
He loves his brothers,
His army,
He plays the game-
Always lonely,
The little genius

The future is his
His hands-
Not big enough to hold it
Stained with blood-
Might be his own,
Leaking from the thousand
Deaths he's died

So young, so old

So lonely inside
So much to do
In the world,
Out there-

In here

The lonely soldier-
Broken, tearless, brilliant
Saying
Follow me

Follow me

*************************************

Wouldn't you follow him?

Please review! *grins*
