It was my first
deployment over seas
I was in an open
field
When I spotted one
of the enemy
I shot him before he
could shoot me
Then from behind
I was shot in the
leg
I was taken to a
field hospital
And later sent back
to the states
While lying in my
hospital bed
I kept replaying it in
my mind
Me shooting someone
Me a murder
Sure he would have
killed someone else
Sure he would have
destroyed more lives
But still, I just
could not get over what I had down
I did what I had to
do
War is kill or be
killed
However
I am not a killer
That is not me
After I was releashed
from the hospital
I left the military
I vowed never to
touch a gun
Or
Any other weapon
For as long as I
lived
