Soldier's Ghost

I bled for you - would you for me? I blessed a skin in blazing fuel Then took a bullet in a duel of ‘He or I to Die.' I often question ‘Why? ' Do you? My country was my life to give - Would you for country cease to live? Sinking in a mire of death, You have no choice - So while you're still alive, Rejoice! I cried in failure - did you care? And as I waned, were you aware of What I did -? Fighting for my country while you hid Behind your comfort back at home? Still relaxed? My wife and child are fading at the tomb.
