It's not an easy thing to turn your back on the ones you love.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA00Cna2Hz
They say it's something that cowards do, and they couldn't be more wrong.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjcE9B2KSi
It's an act of courage. To overstep those boundaries of trust, to go against the irrationality of emotion for the greater good.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Pwa6Dh2Z
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu12LGJVuw8
Some other boys who are joining with me seep slowly out of their houses. Their families, too, are saved.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVxX9FYm38

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. 857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBfHleJOdS
They say that we are the spineless, but when you have to walk past the people that may die by the hands of the army you join, no one can say that we lacked the moral fiber to look them in the eyes.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKgmyh2F8f
Eyes that scream, filth.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEOJf6TI5Q
Down the road, a broken promise awaits.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzAlDXtZXm
You said our families would be safe.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrqaxaVeyz
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?
