It's not an easy thing to turn your back on the ones you love.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSARebiScuE
They say it's something that cowards do, and they couldn't be more wrong.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LYRgpH0SZ
It's an act of courage. To overstep those boundaries of trust, to go against the irrationality of emotion for the greater good.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5hrtFf9Fz
I tell myself this as I walk down the road, fields passing by and their cries fading away, but it doesn't stop their tears from stinging more than mine.
Death awaits me in a carriage, with a uniform and a mustache. On his wrist, a watch that my family and I would never be able to afford with a lifetime of savings, counting down the hours until I die. It may be just twenty four. It may be over a thousand. Little metal hands clicking clockwise eternally, but eventually even their cold insides will rust and grind to a halt.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BfDYNmWMR
Some other boys who are joining with me seep slowly out of their houses. Their families, too, are saved.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZbFSB64Yi
Their friends, too, are condemned.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeR3kBrjrM
Solemn glares all round, no greetings or banter now. We've come to fight against our own country in return for our family's safety. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy8NM491eR

Eyes that scream, filth.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYysiMExon
Down the road, a broken promise awaits.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fgNt9wACr
You said our families would be safe.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71h9l72lyA
But the watch hands keep ticking, the wheels keep rolling, and the lone hearts keep breaking, because since when was a coward's promise kept?
