Shadows of Vengeance

Title: Shadows of Vengeance

In shadows deep, a soldier stands,
His heart consumed by grief’s demands.
Eight years have passed since tragedy,
A mother’s loss, relentless plea.

In battlefields, his duty called,
Yet whispers of revenge enthralled.
A tender soul, now wrath unwound,
Seeking solace beneath death’s shroud.

He donned the uniform, so brave,
To honor her, her life to save.
But darkness seeped into his core,
As justice he sought, forevermore.

Amongst his comrades, unaware,
A plot was hatched with chilling flair,
To hire a killer, heart ice cold,
To right the wrongs of stories untold.

An unexpected twist of fate,
The truth unveiled, his soul’s weight.
For in the night, the guards awoke,
To find their brother’s sins evoke.

Now the soldier, stained with guilt,
Reflects on choices he had built.
A life of service, honor torn,
His mother’s memory forever mourned.
