Route Triggers

• Artist: Akuma Of The Fist
• Description: This is a poem I've written. My name isn't important but my experience is. This poem is manifested from the feelings I experienced during my time serving as a Soldier in Afghanistan. The first big blast my unit took on route triggers caused the near deaths of two soldiers in the convoy. They were hit by a roadside IED (Improvised explosive device) which caused the vehicle to become nothing more than parts and the men to become silent bodies inside.

The light that blinded angels eyes
as smoke arose throughout the skies
the ground was broken, bodies torn
metal scraped and tires worn
not a sound outside the blast
shadows loom where bodies cast
humans yelling a running race
soldiers staring an empty face
I won't forget it I can't forget
the price that's payed a soldier's debt
no matter where I go wherever
a piece of me is there forever.
