molten walking soldier

A molten walking soldier
In a fighting land
Overcome by power
And bloodstained sands

The sadness that he feels
Thinking a brighter future
He can't believe its over
through brutal torture

A molten walking soldier...

Your poem conveys the uselessness and senselessness of war

This is a sad and disturbing poem, very well written.
It makes an important statement, as many young men are fighting wars and probably facing this same disillusionment, as we speak.
Keep submitting your poetry, Lynette.

I have been a soldier, and I assure you, we are molten every time we go into battle. I agree, there is an uneasy feeling conveyed here, and so there should be, War is an uneasy, cruel thing.   It is torture and more, not knowing whether one will ever see one's beloved, or children, adds to the dilemma. 

Thank you - brought back some memories...

Points 3 - Very promising piece of writing
