Judgment of war

He who has once faced death
His cries shall never be heard
But to be a worthy survivor
He was only his country's third

For a man who faced this terror
You would think he won't go back
But when the second chance arrose
He got up off his back

He felt his luck now slipping away
It wouldnt happen again
He knew his time was up
He was catching that new white train

This train was filled with flowers
Poppies to be exact
To make sure he remembers
His terrible, taunting acts

As each poppy gets picked
A lonely soul will die
And in fear of similarity
Nobody close will cry

Not even a shiver
No eyelids bat or react
Until sudden realisation hits
They followed in his tracks

A field full of death
no names to be found
But only lifeless planks of corpses
Planted in the ground

When they reach the gates
All golden, blue and white
They heard thunder crack
'Twas God in all his might

He recognised these sinners
And knew they did not well
He pulled his shiny leaver
And down they quickly fell

It was hot, too hot to bare
Even for a soldier
He felt the pressure too
Leaning on his shoulder

He knew he should have stopped
Right when he had the choice
But the mistakes he has made
Have left him with no voice

He cried and he remembered
His life before this war
He wanted it all back
But someone wanted it more

He didnt know their stories
He only knew their names
They didnt know much of each other
Just played their stupid games

And when we come to think of these
Just simple fighting at most
We do not think of all the people
Who ended up a ghost

There isn't much of one thing
A thing called individuality
But all the lost lives are general
Shown by a single charity

It should not repeat
But ever if it did
He will look down on us
And will not close the lid
