Soldier

  • Short Story

I have killed in my life.

I've seen murder and I've grown to accept it.

My eye's are stained by the wounds of other men.

Am I a monster,

A felon,

A foe.

Or?

Am I a hero,

Gallant and brave,

Or just another man,

The product of a brutal system.

This is a poem, a narrative style unique to most Irish poets like John Montague and Derek Mahon. The language is accesible and in most cases a story is being told.
