The Soldier Says

(Today is my last day in the current company)

A dream carpeted under their lust
Scattered, supressed, delinquished.
A future blackened by their ambition
Coloured, muddled, defeated.

Carry on bearing the torch of their ego
Till it burns your hand and your being
Ashes will remain of the self that was
Cry and fret as much, no one is seeing.

Walked a thousand miles and tired
Your legs give in to defeat
And then the wind changes direction
History after all does repeat.

So yet another defying moment
Written on the pages of history
As another soldier moves on
Towards a new goal, a new mystery.

But before the final step he takes
Gratitute expresses itself in eyes
For the wonderful love you gave
Stays forever even though time flies.

So this is what the soldier says
As the water under the bridge flows
"Remember me, my friend
Never say Adios".
