Little Mindless Soldier
By Vicky Zhuang Yi-Yin 

Curled up on the floor, dying
Loneliness around you
Holding onto dear tiny life,
Young boy, do you want your revenge?
I want to hear an answer
I want to hear a ‘Yes, sir!
Or do you want to die
Like everybody else?
I will close your wounds
All you have to do is obey
Here is a gun to shield yourself
Kill our foe and heed my orders
I want to hear an answer
I want to hear a ‘Yes, sir!
Or do you want to die
Like everybody else?
Take my hand and do not fret
Strip your innocence, cast it away
I will save you, while you decay
Turn into my little mindless soldier
I want to hear an answer
I want to hear a yes, sir
Or do you want to die
Like everybody else?
Yes, that’s right, that’s right
My little mindless soldier
Take this little offer, and never forget
That I am now your caretaker
No longer child, no longer human
Broken, battered then bred for war
Dangling from the bonds of his master
The one now in possession of his soul
~~~*****~~~

Very nice. I like your style. Do you follow someones style or you've developed your own?

Hey Jason, I really don't know if I am following anyone else's style only because I have no knowledge of poetry because I do not really know what the poetic terms are. I have been doing this on my own, so for now we can safely say that I developed it. Thanks for liking my work.
