Enemy? Friend?

And so the wars went on,
lands, money, thoughts, lies ...

And so it came to be
that the two nations, following commands, fought fiercely ...

And so it came to be that the clouds
didn't hide the light of the sun this time ...

and a soldier stood above
a dying enemy
their eyes met for the first time
and the living soldier saw in the other's dying eyes
someone who could have been his friend
the dying one smiled in acknowledgement
as his last heartbeats faded away, with the light in his eyes ...

And so, the clouds did not hide the light of the sun this time ...
And the living soldier dropped his weapon
He did not expect to lose
a friend
