Toy Soldiers
by Elizabeth C. Haynes
The world out there is one for toy soldiers,
Lined up in rows, one after the other,
Their camo green bodies of similar size, shape, proportions
All called to conform.
Yet here I sit, a different shape entirely.
Bright colors.
A pacifist no less.
With absolutely nowhere to fall into line.
