I'm soldier,
Patriotic soldier!
I take and use honestly
the war weapons
I shed thousands of blood drop
I kill sympathetic soul of my conscience!
I don't believe in greenery
I don't like a grassy field
Bloodstained child's face
Or dead public peoples
My heroism and crown of velour!
I'm robotic blind
I don't know
from where the war weapons come
I don't help
The birds to fly and chirp
The family faces to smile and reunite
The children to play hide and seek
I can help
Superpower businessman
to make and deal the war weapons!

A powerful and thought provoking poem. It can also be taken as a satire. Yes, a soldier takes commands from his superiors. He is expected to follow orders and takes every arms provided for him. However, there are times the order is beyond the call of duty and if the command is in violation of human rights then the soldier must be afforded the right to contravene the said command.
This is a very well written poem; I like how you cover so many aspects of life with you. A 10
A soldier marches to orders into other's borders. A topical write that feels so right. Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate them.
