An explosion rocks the truck and ground,

Men are killed and start falling down.

I look about and see devastation all over,

As the enemy starts plinking us from cover.

I run from the scene as fast as I can,

Not knowing if I am pursued by any man.

I know not where I will be going,

I run on blindly while my legs keep on flowing.

I find a tree from where I take aim,

I will kill those bastards if it is just the same.

I cannot let them take any of us away,

So I turn and fight as the night turns to day.

And then from behind I hear a yell to freeze me,

I turn to look and it is not what I wanted to see.

It is more of those enemy coming for us,

And one of them are driving a small mini bus.

I fall down and play dead just in case,

Maybe they will miss me and not see my face.

I have training to kill them one and all,

I am here to protect until the day that I fall.

I know when they come to take us from here,

They will torture us and bind us to draw out my fear.

I will never let them see me cringe in defeat,

And I vow to avenge my men on the street.

When they leave this place they cease to believe,

That someone’s alive with no time to grieve.

My training kicks in and I start to escape,

How much of this am I expected to take?

I find myself face down in the dessert of old,

My pride restored as I get up so bold.

I follow the tracks to where the men have been taken,

It is my honor that will never be forsaken.

I enter the compound where the men they are held,

I do what I can to save them from hell.

I vow to save them no matter the price,

My life is expendable though it doesn’t seem nice.

I saved my men from a certain doom and fate,

They are alive and healthy to date.

I am no hero just a man all the same,

I am the soldier without any name.
