No Man's Land

No Man's Land

A Poem by Elyana
"

Ever wonder what truly goes on in a soldier's mind in battle?

"
A hint of envy cause souls
It holes hearts with bullets
In men who fight for peace
In wives who pray for miracles

Each step they take is courage and fear
Blended in the battle field
Death crawls beneath a soldier's feet
Slowly but surely it haunts their dreams

Day and night, push as hard as they can
Closer and closer to no man's land
The sound of gunshots become clearer and clearer
Everyone knew they were finally here

They yell:

"This is no man's land
where we're bound to be hit
Beyond these fences, all will begin
The battle outside and the battle within

Take cover, dodge the bullets that fly
Not a soul will die
without a fight for this country
or a fight for one's life."

Before he retreats or drop to his knees
His last breath will go before his biggest dream

Two valiant nations once raging in battle
One day will find peace in the arms of the other
Where each color or skin will not matter
And no man will need to take cover
From the guns and the hands in power.

With all willpower, they climbed the fence
A test of courage for every man
But as a bullet hits his leg then his shoulder
He drops in surrender.

A light flashes in his eyes just right before he dies
And the story of his life passes by
The memories of laughter with his son so sweet and the smile of his wife is all he can see

Eyes to the sky, his tears hit the ground
His hand to his heart, he then drops down.
No man's land is unstoppable
Unpredictable, unpassable

But in this soldier's heart, he did it.
Hit killed him but not his dignity
Forget his name but never what he did to this country
