A nobody

Amid the weapons and warfare, a bowl of grain is hard to come by with flesh and blood as its price;
The village has turned into a pack of wolves and jackals, yet only you are called upon to serve in the army.
With the collapse of the Heavenly Palace and the rumbling of Jade Mountain, starving corpses line the roads;
With one arm freed from the reins, you cast off your embroidered robe and join the ranks of the fallen.
Born a lowly dog among the masses, half your life was traded for a few ounces of gold;
Now you see actors dancing with their water sleeves, but nobody sees the common man risking his life for his country.
