Modern Warrior
Armed to the teeth,
Ready for battle,
The warrior steps into the street,
With a clink and a rattle.
Prepared for hostility,
From every angle,
Modern mobility,
Reality entangled.
Religion, race, Creed,
Guns, rape and abuse,
This sick world's need,
To use the proverbial noose.
Modern humans at the brink of war,
Jealous of other's possessions,
Finding thier souls are torn,
Alas, a pitiful collection.
On the battlefield all alone,
The modern warrior finds himself,
In this society into which he's been thrown,
Reality put away on the shelf.
Day after day he faces greed,
He faces jealousy and hate,
Sadly he knows this world needs,
To let the hatred abate.
For this is a war with no honor,
A war with no goal,
Just modern confusion,
That damges the soul.
