Subject: The Unknown Soldier

This is a mere fragment of a dedication~in so short words I would like to remember the veterans of war.


My country that I served
she did employ me

My unit that I ranked
it did deploy me

The enemy that was sent to greet me in the trenches
was sent to destroy me

But I did not fall into the arms of evil


The more dark blue uniforms I slaughtered
made me feel a lesser man

The more I aimed my weapon and hit my human target
the further away from home I felt that I didn´t belong in

But I did not fall into the arms of evil


my shell for a corpse lies emptyless inside a polished coffin
my nations proud flag drapes neatly creased and folded
and under the white cross, poppy flowers swaying to the tune of bugles and bagpipes

lies the Unknown Soldier

11th November
Poppy day
