His End


A man of war
Serves his last purpose
To die along the line
And feed the worms and trees for so long;

His rough face sags
With a mysterious
Shapeshifting manner
As time goes on.

The gun he carries
Not from distaste, but desire
Has its shocking
And horrifying past;

The uniform he wears
Deformed from wear and tear,
Dingy, inch by inch,
As a never vanquishing cast.
