The cruel sun

I lay here neither dead nor alive

I was a warrior, a father, a son and a friend

I watched as the glowing sun rise

My fellow soldiers lay surrounding me

I wonder are they seeing the same vulgar sun as I am?

The sun is a traitor to my eyes. How can it shine so bright?

Can't it see these soldiers are mourning their loves one they will

forever wait to see in hell? Hell? is this the place people like us go?

The ones who have broken the law which God so truly condemn? I guess this is our

punishment as sinners. Isn't God cruel to show men who have sinned so greatly such beauty. A beauty forever out of our reach? I see, so he's always been with us in the shadows. I guess he truly forgives the hopeless of sinners.

I'm but a dead man now preparing for my journey to hell.
