Unconventional MeansA Poem by Riley Bray~~~
An eerie sounds rings out across
A silent field, An omen of death. But the soldiers have already Given their rational minds To their country. They are already gone. Enemy lines smear their faces With friendly blood, And the smell of gunpowder spreads As the soldiers lay In their unkempt trenches, Killing the free-thinking mind With every day That kills my hope. But we can't lose, Us in the country I was born We will find any way necessary To meet a wanted end. We will murder... Innocents, those that are guilty, No one will live. For if you aren't one of us Your life Means Nothing. We will massacre our enemies, And "accidentally" our allies too, Collapsing from the inside As we cry out against the injustice We as a people support, Paying from our pockets to sustain it. We'll all rely on them when in a bind To have us win, despite the casualties. Fellow humans, Enemy soldiers. We'll kill all Even through unconventional means. I'm ashamed to be one of them, For they made me a murderer before my first breath Was ever taken... I carry their sins. Kill me before I kill you. I want you to live.
