His fellow soldiers

He was the best of us
Better in strength
Better in wits
Better in might
Better in all
He was the best of us
We would have given our life for him
He gave his life for us
Never have so many owed so much
To a single man
He was the best of us
Best man
Best soldier
And we shall never forget
Who he was or how he died
Giving his life so we all could keep our own

His friends

He was the best of us
All so clever
All so funny
Always with a smile on his face
Always understanding others
Everyone who met him fell immediately in love
We all loved him
He was the best of us
He had so much waiting for him
A full future still ahead
He was so full of life
He was so full of joy
It's not comprehensible to see him
Motionless
Joyless
Lifeless
He was the best of us

His parents

He was
From the first moment he came into this world
He was
All through his childhood all through his youth
He was
So full of life and happiness
Always playing
Always running around
He was
All the future laid ahead of him
Our son
Our sun
He was destined to greatness
He was
We shall always remember him
How he lived and what he died for
He was our son
Our one and only son
He was

His girl

He is no more
My friend
My love
My joy
My reason to live
He is no more
What can we do now?
There is nothing to do but cry
He is no more
The best of us
Our future
He is gone
And for what?
For what?
There is no reason
There can be no reason
Nothing can be worth this
Nothing
He is no more
And all we have to do is cry

His spirit

I was never such a man
They all see what they want to see
I was never such a soldier
I was never such a friend
I was never such a child
I was never such a man
My childhood unhappy
In my youth I was depressed
I never had so many friends
Some of these I never met
My past is so depressing
My future is a blank
I couldn't mount to nowhere
And my girlfriend was a whore
She never loved me
She liked the stuff I bought
My only home was the army
My only true friend was my gun
Only there I felt like I belong
But it wasn't for my fellow soldiers
And it wasn't for our country's sake
I loved to feel the power of  the firearm
I loved the danger of war
I didn't die for none of you
I died because of you!
