A Soldier

Life is his war, his battle's for love

From the day he was born, blessed by he who hovers above

Most times as a child, where it was nothing but struggles

Raised in poverty, street wise from the all troubles

He may not be the brightest one, academically

But life is something that he takes in, intelligently

Raised up differently, from the streets so they judge him cruelly.

He's not perfect, never claimed to be yet he's no one other then he.

And They Got him confused about this whole colour trip

He's not talking about whats happening between a blood or a crip

He's talking about the skin tone on the same type of bone, that they use to segregate

He's colour blind at ones skin shown, recognise why he cant relate?

Racism was something, he also was victimised by

Came to hate all discrimination, like his hate for a lie

Some come to hate the race who used discrimination

How does revenge show a good example to the next generation

All people have their story, you'd be surprised if you knew

The ones who you assumed of, how much they have been through

They say never judge a book by its cover

Metaphorically, still people are quick to judge one another

Its amusing in its own way and much easier to do wrong and hate

Even if life was hard enough, He chose love as his fate

Watch him rise, getting much stronger and wise

Born to see hell on earth, so he's fighting for paradise

For the fathers and the mothers, the sisters and brothers who suffer

A life of violence, abuse, drugs and alcohol beyond measure

He prays to God, that through this path that arose

For the soldiers of righteousness gain justice from all of their foes

Let righteousness and love, conquer this battle truly

So that the goodhearted are rewarded and celebrate victory

A soldier from the time he was in his mothers womb

A soldier he will be until his names set on that tomb

To those who make of him an enemy;

God's will take care of his reality ...
