the war
my heart decended as i approached the shore
i clicked my gun out of safety, as i heard the near sound of war
and the thought of what may happen shook me to my very core
the door dropped with a splash, and i ran towards the end
the man to my left dropped after a bang, a message an enemy did send
i heard the clang and shatter of lives that were suspent
the planes whirred by, and the bombs did too
my knees smashed into the sand, and the flames they grew
and i held my ears as the poison wind blew
with a deafening roar, my brothers did fall
bullets buzzed past me like flies, i could no longer stall
but in the end, i fell after all
i awoke in a hospital, i wasn’t at home
laying in a creaky gurney, i am quite alone
i heard the cracking of my tired bones
the nurse comes around, her squeaky shoes patter
i looked her in the eye and said, ‘it no longer matters’
she opened her mouth, her cold neck cracking and popping, ‘no longer living will keep you low at the ladder’
(Not too fond of this one)
