I wanted to show you two men
in war
One in pain
One not in pain

I wanted to show you
This captivating and painful and beautiful and unreal
moment of war
What’s going on?

I wanted you to see
His pain
and his calmness
Surrounded by grass and trees and leaves
Serenity

And he is holding his hand
Because currently,
he is dying
A painful death
An unimaginable death
One you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy

I wanted you to note the emotion
and feel
his pain from a gunshot
possibly
Now, take a second
Appreciate their dedication
And amazingness
