Description
Three thousand men,more ready than snakes
preparing to strike.
Silently, privately thinking
AI shall be the one.
The hero, the last man standing,
but they won't.
Three thousand rifles,
waiting like watchdogs
defending the night.
Each yearning to bury a bullet
Into a man's skull
Many of whom won't fire again
after tomorrow.
Six thousand eyes,
searching like eagles
hunting for prey.
All wishing to see red men fall,
to be so sharp
that a single shot shan't go astray
a single shot..
Three thousand faces,
as fearless as lions
not showing the inside.
All wearing different expressions
not knowing that
after tomorrow, many shall become
expressionless.
One general,
the alpha of them all
as a king to his kingdom
who must send so many of them
to their doom.
Why must I be the one,
To know that so many
children, brothers, husbands, fathers,
shall not return home
to their broken families.
Why should I not be
one of them?
One who is only to aim and shoot
and not have to make decisions
that will end in death either way.

This piece is amazing...and touching in a sad sort of way...but that's the point isin't it. War is depressing though, and I think you've managed to capture some of the emotion, and relay it in a way that doesn't formulate extremely heavy feelings of depresion. It's very good!
