The Soldier

A mountain of muscle is he

Standing almost 8 feet tall,

As menacing as any man can be

Seemingly bred for the brawl.

Yet his appearance is a mask

For a heart kind and gentle,

A giant with the task

To not be judgemental.

He cannot judge others past

For of his own he is ashamed,

The list of his sins is vast

Sins that will remain unnamed.

For he is of unnatural birth

Engineered for war,

Blood spilled dictated his worth

That and nothing more.

He truly regrets what he's done

His actions beyond forgiveness,

Screams caused by his gun

Then nothing but death and stillness.

He now he seeks purpose

Running from his regret,

A warrior on the surface

Just wanting to forget.
