The young soldiers marched,
With an enthusiastic smile upon their face,
Leaving their families for the first time sounded fun,
But what they did not know what was just around the corner,

The bullets were fired,
As their hearts began to pound,
The echoes of the gunfire,
Took over every other sound,

Most did not make it,
Family’s hearts destroyed,
Feelings of grief and pensive,
Hung in the air,

Young soldiers lost their youth,
Lost their future and ambition,
Young soldiers lost their life.
