To "The Soldier whose life I took",
Your life was in my hands and I extinguished it. I fired my Rifle with "Just Cause" , "Orders" from my commander. But my heart it is tearing apart, because I know how inhumane I have become to take another mans life away.
"Have you done the same?" I ask myself, but I cannot rationalise this desperate position that humanity finds itself in. I can only repent all this brutality.
Will it End? will future generations ever realise the insanity, will they learn from our mistakes. This animal, this human, please rise above and become more like angels and live now in love for each other, lets us seek only to end another mans suffering and bring more things from heaven than from hell to this mortal plain.
