A Soldier Never Dies

I’m on the edge of suicide
Waiting for life
To flash past my eyes.
Instead I hear a voice
‘A soldier never dies’.
‘I am tired, I seek no adventure’
A fatigued voice replies.

For sure, no past flashes by
All I taste is irony in the air
Mocking my fatigue and despair
If life is your war
Nothing is fair.
It doesn’t end just coz you want it to
Try ruining it
All you destroy is you.

The only option is not to give up the fight
Coz, martyr in the battle may be
A soldier never dies.
