WHERE DO YOU BELONG?

Where do you belong,
my warrior?
The restless winds
are here
seeking answers to
your sins
the borders impose
on your skin.

The blood you've rinsed,
the cuts you've cleaned:
how many confessions
have amputated your beliefs?

Hell is only six feet long,
three feet wide:
therein lies the peace
for which we fight,
death is like 
a poet's rhyme
there is a meter
but no lyrical time!

You are a hero,
my warrior!
You are a gem
of a kind!
No sins you possess,
the borders, witnesses!
Swords kill the skin,
not the might.
The legend stays.
We toast and smile!
