The Saint-Soldier

Another poem for you guys... Its fairly recent; just under a week old. I wrote this one when I was supposed to stop writing for a bit (strange right?) I hope you guys enjoy it :)

It was the summer of 69 or autumn of 94, or some time in between when people knew who they were because they were who they thought they were, they were, A Lost cause, no cause for alarm, the alarms ringing to this rebellion of a saint-soldier who took more lives than he saved, he saved; Crtl+S then Alt+F4 he don't know what he altered it for. his own gain, his own mad peice of consciousness that would unconscoiusly take his mind on a trek and warp it to its own enterprise, voyage, deep into sapce NEIN!! no... This is not my place or space to complicate the perplexed look on your face, I chose to be a soldier but that deosn't mean I want to kill. I just wanted to be on the front lines to find a cure for this humanity, our insanity, the force of gravity we fight so hard to get off the ground but we have no idea how long its been around. Its a part of us... War, gravity. they all smell the same;  like everyday when we wake up... But, here this saint-soldier did not come to preach about war, he, came to tell them that he wasn't the one they were looking for. He was just a man. A boy... A soul who would take some sort of place in some other line. line up. Regiment, battalion, army. He couldn't see, for he had been blind since turning three, because his mind's eye had been sewn shut... He made a promise to himself to never write home. never tell them what was going on in his mind, because the war was his and his thoughts the front lines... And the saint-soldier would sharpen his weapon until it went blunt, and he'd sharpen it again, and again... Until he could sharpen it no more and it was as blunt as his tongue, as blunt as his thoughts, his opinions, his mind a battering ram. And then the stars came.. And then the stars came.. And they woke him from his slumber.And he found his mind's eye cut open and laid bare. The saint-soldier... The saint-soldier...
