Post-trauma

A soldier out of time

a man who commits no crimes 

take away everything he stands for 

you'll wish you hadn't 

because by then you're done for 

The shield 

the uniform 

is not what a freedom fighter makes 

therefore if there's anything that haunts him 

it would be his many mistakes
