Brave Soldiers


I saw them fight
brave soldiers all
I saw them fight
I saw them fall

Substances
subconscious
suppositions
poverty and prejudice
have seen off a lot of
my friends.
Every life is sad
at it's end.

Cancer, addiction
just plain old age
are waiting when
I turn the page.
It'll never change
I won't escape the cage
no matter how much I rage.

That's all that is waiting
and our bodies deteriorating.

Yes, its depressing
and very distressing
but it's all there is.
