No Longer A Soldier Boy

He left home

A boy

Ready to

Fight a war

In far off

Desert sand.

He saw comrades

Broken and bloodied

Fallen to the ground.

He’d watch

Life fall away

And saw visions

Of hell

Night and Day.

He left for

War a Soldier boy

Came back a broken

Man

Struggling to

Keep the

Demons at bay.
