Voice Of Reason
In gunfire and shelling comes a moment of clarity.
Before him lays a vision of the world that could be.
Calm prevails there to offer a life he once sought !
Bloodshed is not the norm, a bewildering thought.
After years of combat with hope long extinguished,
This escape from battle is more than just wished !
Nothing has prepared him for this unusual release.
For only this moment he succumbs to a lost belief !
.............................................
The voice of reason has sparked in his weary mind.
This indulgence comes from a place felt left behind.
Stunned by this welcome return to blessed morality,
He becomes transfixed by overwhelming humanity !
The bullet hits restoring awareness with cruel venom.
Falling to earth he instantly realizes what is to come !
Lying waiting for the inevitable to take his soul away,
He simply smiles understanding his fortune this day !
