Welcome to this special issue. Amber and Osinachi are the Military writers. This is part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. We want to say thanks with this poem.
Your best friend
People said that
We are beast.
But that's
Not true.
For we give
Up the ghost.
To give
You a rest.
We're soldiers
We're your best friend.
People said that
Our love wax so cold.
Oh that's not true
O, that's not true.
For our blood
Run so cold.
Only for those
That hunt your life.
We're soldiers
We're your best friend.
People said that
We love to die.
For we're not
Afraid of death.
But that's not true
O people of this Earth.
For we only love
To lay down our lives.
On the feet of
Your enemies.
That's what a friend
Can do for his best friend.
Yes we're soldiers
We're your best friend.
People said that

That's what a friend
Can do for his best friend.
Yes we're soldiers
We're your best friend.
