The man fell to the battlefield
face to the dirt
and just lay there
amongst the dead
The battle raged on
men fought hard
and died valiantly
all around him
but he felt numb
oblivious to it all
Or perhaps he thought he was safe
if he just "laid low"
either way
he just lay there
uninjured
without will to wield the weapons at his side
without passion to fight
without a worthy purpose for being on a battlefield
as good as dead
for all the good he did his fellow man
