when you look into a soldiers eyes <br />you see the images locked deep inside <br />the torture and hate he has seen <br />the deaths of friends that have been <br />the hard decisions he has made <br />the killing blast of one grenade <br />the countless men he has killed <br />the dangerous missions he has fulfilled <br />the horrific gore <br />the madness of war <br />the deaths of the innocent, their piercing scream <br />now you too wont be able to dream <br />that steely eyed soldier was just a boy <br />untill war took all his joy. <br />so when you meet a soldier with distant eyes <br />think of what he has seen and why he wears that disguise.<br /><br />katie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldiers-eyes/
