The Best Poem Of Jeremy Bernier

Soldier

A young boy of only sixteen
Simple hopes simple dream
In the trenches fighting so vibrantly
Seeing death so young so violently

Dark winter sleeping one eye open
Army fatigue ripped blood soaken
Six months past no more pride
He picks up his rifle lowered his head and cried

With a swig of dark rum
He reloaded his gun
He put one bullet into his brain
No one ever spoke of the simple soldier again
