The Soldier
After work one day -
one rather dreary day,
I sat in my usual chair -
in the usual place,
to watch the TV.
Stopping at the news,
I see the face of a criminal.
"Man convicted of murder,
loses court case,"
was written in big letters as the headline.
Disgusted, I changed the station,
to another news channel.
A man stands at attention.
"Man back from war,
country cheers their hero,"
was written in big letters as the headline.
Everyone stood.
Everyone cheered.
Everyone loved their hero,
for he had killed a thousand.
