Warrior Angel
They say,
you are a rebel.
Fighting for something
no one knows or
maybe something
no one cares to know...
For you,
you are a warrior.
Fighting for your god's name,
for a holy war,
for power,
for money,
for future...
But
in my eyes,
you are an angel in disguise
trapped in this chaotic world,
brain-washed
by playful tricks and promises
of selfish people
around you...
Your face
reflects sweet innocence.
It masks the shadows
of the war zone
you've left for a while...
Your smile
is more than a happy pill
that keeps everybody up high
amid the busy days...
Your deep silence
is a mystery.
It tells a story
that I've always yearned to hear ...
But
the time has come
for you to leave,
to fly back to the land
you consider your home,
to fulfill the mission
you call your destiny...
So fly higher,
cross the ocean and
conquer your land...
May your god bless you and
protect you and
reward you
a prize fit
for a warrior,
for an angel...
