Cries of a Dead Warrior

The war in the sea. Large warships floating, scaps metals, crude oils spreading fire everywhere. The beautiful sea we used to see, where did it go? The fish that used to live there, where did they go?

“Enemy attacking.”

Where? Why ? Why did it turn out to be a chaos? We haven’t even done anything. Why did you attack? What fault are we in that you destroyed and killed the innocent people.

Peace was never an option. What we humans develop is hatred, revenge, jealousy. Why can't you just stay still. Showing power? Why ? What will even happen when you show your forces? I thought this was the end to the never ending war, yet a saddening moment. I guess it was the start of another war. Humans are just going extinct like this. Who cares about nature killing, we open the path to hell ourselves.

What a dreadful way to die. Never thought this day would ever come. Black smoke showing the sign of death.

What will happen to my family? Will they survive ? Will my children remember me? Was I a failure?

Regrets flowing through the veins. Sorrow showed up when I wished to die in peace. The war cry is everywhere. People running for their lives where they have no future. A corrupted country where you don't belong anywhere. Worked like a slave, dragged to battlefield. Just providing hope doesn’t change the life of humans. Sending them to the battlefield just by stating for the country is the worst. Using a country name, to do some activities that people don't want. These people should never have a place either in hell or this world.

“Hope they rot to death.”

The worthless fight that we fight for gets us nothing. What will happen even if you have power? Sending us like worthless bags. Saying that they would provide a huge financial reward for the dead soldiers. Why do we have to be dead to get support? Isn’t the battle we fought good enough for them? Even if I survive with broken legs or bones. I would be sent to another war. So why breathe, to go to another place to see the destruction?

They wont even count the losses. They wont even understand the war cry of the soldiers. They  are not even good at managing a single state. Then why do people appoint them?

Power ? Fear? Winning people's hearts?

They manage to win the hearts of people for seconds then we have the same result as every other. We hoped to have a good life and chose them but instead that was sin that took us to hell.

Sorry my wife and children that I have to leave you this early. Hope you grow up and become someone that can be relied on and put the end to this never ending war. Be a great soldier in people’s hearts.
