You wake up from a soft bed, relaxed and ready to go to work...
He wakes up in a bunker, from a sleep he never slept, ready to face an uncertain day...
You take a cool shower, the lather of your scented soap running down your neck...
He is bathed in the sweat of anxiety, with the caked blood of his colleague hanging down his matted hair..
You throw a designer shirt over your body, and wear a dash of Cologne
He covers himself in unwashed khaki and tries to ignore the stench of his unbathed body
Your breakfast sits before you and you pick up the fork and knife...
He checks his rifle, hoping the magazine is in place and praying the trigger never gets jammed..
You walk into your car, you smile back at the smiling sun...
He hops into the back of the armoured truck wondering whether he'll ever see the sun again
You drive and whistle to your favourite song serenading you from the car stereo.
The rough terrain under the tyres of the truck sway him back and forth in what may be his last dance.
Salute to all fallen soldiers who die to keep us alive.
Happy Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
