Orders of Fear

Do what they say
Just to live another day
Tears strolling, choking smoke
Trying not to die a joke

But they point their weapons
In my face of fear
I look at myself,
And those I hold near

I do what they say
I don't run away
They and their smiles malign
Would just shoot me blind

Till I see nothing but death
And so I cry
Holding myself
Hoping to die

Life is not worth this
The torture and fear
Is strong and it runs
Through my eye and ear

The screams, they pierce
The blood, it kills
They don't care about
The soul that spills

I lose my stomach
As I watch my father
I try to save him...
But why bother?

The bullet penetrates
The blood hits the dirt
I look into his eyes
His soul was dead...
How it hurt

I tried to lose my thoughts
But instead remembered my mother
Who, seemingly angelic,
Died at the cause of another

The others, those beasts
Their minds are lifeless
Their hands are death
Their actions are thoughtless

In the middle of bustle
I sit, alone
Crying and feeling nothing
And hearing the groan
Of dying life, around me
They won't leave us be

Shooting and fighting
Blood and tears
Dirt and bodies
Death...
But only fear

I was watching Iron Man and it was my second time watching it. All I remembered from the first time I watched it were the "cool" explosions and gadgets, but the second time I noticed a couple moving scenes that really show some great emotion. And those scenes inspired me to write this. It's not one of my greats, but it's ok.
