                            Expendable
                             Soldier
                             Part: I
                Confession of  the Expendable Soldier.

                Here I am in a Jungle
                in a world far 
                from mine.

                Ripped from
                Education
                and thrown
                headfirst into
                a crash
                course
                in the art
                of death.

                Armed to my molars.
                Guns, Knives, and Grenades
                are my wives.
                The dead 
                are my Children.
                A deadly 
                love affair.

                Gunshots, Explosions,
                screams of Terror and
                screams of Pain
                a lullaby for my children.

                I am now 
                a one
                man
                killing 
                machine.

                Killing people I don�t
                know.
                Fighting for people I don�t 
                care about.
                Just carrying out
                every whim of
                my superiors.

                Out on my own.
                No support
                radio or otherwise.
                I am expendable.




 

                Expendable Soldier
                Part: II
                Prayer of  the Expendable Soldier

                As the sun rescurrects
                painting the 
                sky blood
                red,
                I say this prayer.

                Dear God or whoever
                the FUCK you are
                if you even
                exist.
                I ask of you, 
                to kill me
                today before the
                sun dies painting the
                sky death-like
                Black.

                I don�t want to
                go back
                to those
                cowards who
                threw me into
                the middle of this 
                bullshit.

                TELL THE 
                COWARDS TO GO
                FIGHT THEIR
                OWN WAR!.

                My country
                nor my family 
                would not accept 
                me back
                for I have
                birthed many
                of the
                dead.

                KILL ME!!
