There will always be many first-time moments in war. The man who has killed over a million souls shudders after seeing one more that he must kill. He should have gotten used to it by now. Yet, he trembles. Even his knees are shaking and his eyes are glistening in tears. He is not afraid. Yet, his heart aches.

There will always be many

first-time moments in war.

Like the man who has killed a million—

and still shudders

knowing he must kill one more.

He should have been used to it.

Yet still,

he trembles.

Even his knees shake,

his eyes glisten with tears.

He is not afraid—

but still,

his heart aches.
