To Turn

They cried out to me
To protect my world from harm
Murder for safety

I dared not question
As they handed me the gun
And some bullets too

With a push and shove
I accepted the duty
And rose to protect

Sent out to the world
With some bullets and a gun
It wasn’t for long

I was met with hate
Crimson rain in silent storm
Such force in their eyes

They cried out to me
To protect my world from harm
Murder for safety

When a soldier is told to turn on his own people, he's met with an ugly truth
