Slave

A man.
A soldier.
A father.
A son.
A brother.
A husband.
A believer.

A man who has tasted death, tasted love, tasted loss, and tasted pain.
Yet he lives... searching for an answer from the Creator of the heavens and the earth-seeking to understand who he is and what makes him a man.
A man who has tasted hate but also love.

Do you think you can kill to stay alive?
Do you think you can kill to protect what is dear to you?
Do you think you can sacrifice everything for love? For peace?
Do you think you'll cry when you see your enemy dead?
Do you think you'll become everything you hate?

Cigarettes. Alcohol. The Bible. They protect three men from their own enemies. They are at war-not for the government, not for the people, but for themselves, within their own minds.

You can try to become brave, but it comes with fear-you were born of fear.
You can cry at night to fight the demon inside your head, but you can never kill yourself, because you are blood.
