Heh, what's with this sudden interest in poems? I start an oddworld poems thread, then there was a dark poem thread, then a romantic poem thread etc. etc. and another now another one. Heh.. This thread would be better called the 'Elegies' thread.
Anyway, haven't written anything in a while so might as well add something to this thread. Not quite an elegy but similar I guess.
________
The battlefield,
Gunfire, sirens, screams,
You Wake up to find a comrade dead,
The wounded take their last breaths,
The innocent gunned down without remorse,
Men sinning for all they're worth,
Bombs dropping like rain,
Bullets piercing flesh,
All feelings, emotions buried in a mound of corpses,
Your conscience clouded by smoke,
You wait in line,
At Death's reception.

Poems of loss...
