SCARED , WORRIED AND WITHOUT EASE ,
YES-AS THE VERY LIFE SEEMS TO TEASE.
ANYTIME LIFE CAN SLIP LIKE SAND FROM FIST,
HE CAN VIEW DEATH SMILING,THOUGH OUTSIDE IS ALL MIST.
IN CHILDHOOD PLAYING WITH GUN,SHOOTING & KILLING WAS GREAT FUN
HERE HE UNDERSTANDS 'NO' - THIS IS THE GREATEST TRAUMA UNDER THE SUN.
THE SILENCE AND THE NOISE,BOTH FREEZE HIS BLOOD
AS HE IS NOT SURE,WHEN HE HIMSELF MAY BE PART OF MUD.
THROUGHOUT HE WAS AN EMBODIMENT OF INTEGRITY, COMMITMENT & VALUES
ALWAYS DISPLAYED POSITIVE QUALITIES AND NEVER HIS BLUES.
BUT NOW ALONG WITH LIFE, THESE ALL SEEMS TO FADE AWAY,
THE ONLY MOTIVE & THOUGHT IS HOW TO KEEP THE ENEMY AT BAY.
WHAT IS THERE WHICH HELPS HIM KEEP HIS END UP?
PREPARES TO DRINK EVEN THE DEATH CUP ?
IT IS , INDEED , HIS TEACHING & FAITH IN THE OMNIPOTENT,
WHICH SAVES GOOD QUALITIES FROM BEING ROTTEN.
BATTLEFIELD HAS MADE HIM AN ANIMAL-READY TO KILL,
BUT THIS IS FOR GREARTER CAUSE,NOT AT HIS OWN WILL
THIS REALLY RAISESHIM FROM HUMAN BEING TO DEMI-GOD,
IT IS , INDEED, HERE WE CAN SEE ''MAN AS AN AMALGAM OF BEAST & GOD
