The reluctant soldier

Magnets attract,

and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand

why we fight,
to draw the sword of conclusion,

to know what the war is about - 

both sides push out,

so the battle continues

because the force is the same, 

and if just one of us, you or me, turned our magnet around,

in the other direction, 

succumbing to the law of attraction,

we'd be sucked into the black hole of God,

we'd be reborn, and live in peace,

at last,

never to return to this planet earth,

where the battle rages,

where we go through stages,

until the Trumpet Blast,

where we live and die from death 'til birth

Hang on, reluctant soldier!

Don't give in to the war that's over

Hold to the hem, and don't bend in,

don't let go for you're getting older, 

and if luck will have it, you'll still be around

where magnets meet, at heaven's gate, where soldier's wait

on the borderline of hell, 

where from the fire they smolder.
