War

Bodies huddled together in relentless torment,

Men gripping onto the last threads of pain,

Hoping that their last moments of life might be sweeter

Than the past year, when each day they faced the death

That had now crept up on them so fast.

 

Many friends and relations would die

As the battle cry became more tenacious in its force.
