It's an act of courage. To overstep those boundaries of trust, to go against the irrationality of emotion for the greater good.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcMUWBoMA5
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.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY6mdKM3nm
Some other boys who are joining with me seep slowly out of their houses. Their families, too, are saved.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPV0O4MFHZ
Their friends, too, are condemned.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCUAqdiKnu
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. 1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSl9B9AtZV

Down the road, a broken promise awaits.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Gga8SG6A
You said our families would be safe.1101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e81jAIMOX
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?
