Soldier, Through Your Eyes

war

Through your eyes I watch, pained by the light;
Though not nearly as blinding as what lay before me.
Such madness, what brutes produce such a sight?
Who are these men that so look up to thee?
I cannot bear to watch the death and blight.
Through your eyes I watch, that which desolates,
Defeats 'till nothing. Then, one lone man I saw,
Seething in rage for foe - at once - stopped, lost all hate.
A boy lay before him, bloody - and raw.
He stood momentarily, pondering, is it too late?
Too late for peace, too late for love, too late to draw -
Draw - a boundary to guide them, wipe clean their slate?
