| BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER Remembering back to boot camp, The Sergeant had taught that hate Was a vital eelment of the bayonet drill. "Hate the enemy; despise him," he'd say. "There be no room for compassion Or neutrality in this most personal Form of modern combat. A single moment's hesitation could be fatal. Scream! Thrust! Tear!" The Sergeant could conjure no other Emotion than numbing terror. When the enemy was close enough, I screamed and lunged. The scream was closer to desperation than hate; But the lunge was effective enough. A sea of red spread across his topcoat. I twisted the bayonet and my brother Collapsed across me, pinning me to the ground. I choked under the weight of his body And felt his warm blood Soaking into my own uniform. My face was pressed into his like a lover's. I tried to push him away and found Myself staring into his eyes. He was young, no older than I. Not a hardened warrior at all, but a boy! A few hairs sketched a tentative Moustache across his lip. He stared at me with bewilderment. His mouth opened as if to say something, But all that escaped his lips was a drawn-out sigh. Then his eyes filmed over and stared not at me, But off into a distance beyond human capacity. Suddenly, the man's bowel and bladder relaxed. The thought of it made me gag. This time I did not hold back and the sour liquid Drained into the earthen floor of the trench. Copyright (c) 1993 by Richard D. Baker Jr. All Rights Reserved. |
