Take away my love
Strip away my life
Make me into your zombie
The mindless man
Following orders from above
Doing as he’s told
Never discerning for himself
Let me be the perfect solider
The one who never questions authority
Let me join and follow like sheep
I am the lamb to the slaughter
I am the man who follows your rules
I am the toy used by your men
I am nothing more then a shadow
Doing as I’m told and not being who I am
I am empty and hollow
I have no creativity
I am not unique
I have no originality
I might as well be dead
They kill who you are
To fit their mold
The perfect solider
The one who will die for a cause
Without knowing what for
A tool in the destruction of humanity
A member of a group
Someone who will die too young
For an unjust cause
He will never know
He was being used
From the day he signed in blood
For a ''bright'' future
Only to die in the trenches
Of an unnecessary war

very creative and thought filled, I really liked it. However, I would try to read it alloud and make ajustments to the grammer and flow. If you decide to change it at all please message me with the tittle and I will look at it again
