  10. Combat Eyes COMBAT EYES It lurks behind their eyes,Where the soul used to live.Eyes, which have seen too muchOf war’s bad placesWhere reality is too farBeyond human comprehension,Beyond human reasoning,Beyond human sanity.The nether world of death and carnage,Flash-burned and sealed in a fixed dimensionOf atrocities bordered by unspeakable horrorThat forever scars the psyche,Everlastingly searing momentsThat eternally burns too bright.The blank vagueness of the eyesGazes through you,Now past and far beyond,Without judging,Without emotion,Without compassionWithout mercy, without humanity.They stare, dead and blank, unfocused and vague,Knowing everything, fixed on nothing,Mirroring the soul.Welcome Home
