Do not question the power of firepower, and do not question the fire within the dedication of firepower. Perhaps you have questioned from time to time the rush of blood in your veins, the feeling of being alive, the pounding of your chest as you break free from a narrow escape- in the break of a war. But have you ever questioned the sorrow of losing a loved one, a friend, a companion? Have you ever questioned the nagging in your head as you wonder, oh wonder, when it will be you- and not your mother, father, sister, or brother- that will be the victim of the day lying face down motionless on the cold ground surrounded by a pool of blood? Or perhaps encountering someone who you do not dare to get to know, or feel empathy for- in fear that he may be dead within the next few hours? Or perhaps, when you realize you have finally gone mad, for you do not feel the pain nor fear when looking straight down at a dead corpse?

There is so much you don't know, and yet you are so certain. Why are you so confident? I hide myself from you, and I hide my knowledge from you, because what you see of me doesn't define a single cell on my skin. And yet, I care. And yet, it hurts.
