A Faceless Man ' Lived To Fight Another Day ' Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

A Faceless Man ' Lived To Fight Another Day '



'Don't weep baby, this is not goodbye;
It's only a matter of time and I'm comin' back to you.'
'Take this locket then! ' she said with a sigh,
'It will help you make it through.'

Holding her picture, daily he did lie awake:
Wondering when this war will end,
Though he didn't know there was much at stake;
In suffering, the next period he shall spend.

Held prisoner, tortured mercilessly,
Almost at the edge of death.
'Tell us where they are, and we'll set you free! '
'Over my dead body, even if it's my last breath.'

'We'll make you talk then! ' throwin' acid to his face:
Burning, he was scarred for life.
Yet The Almighty had for him some grace;
Some clemency that will end this strife.

A squad of fighting angels, God had sent,
To rescue him at a high pace;
As he was almost at the top of his bent,
Carried on their wings and to a better place.

A soldier that Lived To Fight Another Day;
With a medal of honor, him they did crown.
Nevertheless he quit, as he missed her bright ray:
So he took the first flight back to his home town.

With arms wide open 'Honey, It's me.'
Shocked and scared, 'This ain't happening, this ain't true! '
So he showed her the locket, 'This is yours, can't you see? '
And in a phase of denial, away the locket she threw.

'The maximum levels of pain, for you I did endure! '
'I'm sorry, what do you want me to do? '
'I promise, I'll do my best to find a cure! '
'You've turned into a monster! ' said while she did bedew.

Defending his country, that was the plan;
Yet destiny had something else for him in store.
Rode to The Wasteland in the army van:
And came back a human being no more.

So from her world, him she had to ban:
For he has become A Faceless Man.
