I closed My Eyes
The horror was too much
I wish this could all be lies
I was surrounded by rivers of blood.
Gunshots were being fired in all directions
I tried to get out of the water
On land i saw rolls of barbed wire placed in sections
I had to push past all the bodies.
Finally i made it ashore
I ran forward screaming
How fast my bullets tore
Killing countless people.
The ground shook and rumbled
Another grenade had gone off
My legs fell beneath me and i tumbled
I landed at the bottom of a hill.
Luckily it was a safe spot
I needed to get my head around this
Then there was another shot
My mate went down.
I tore forward with rage
Screaming with a massive heave
I chucked a grenade
This can't be happening.
Dawn slowly crept up
I was tired, I hadn't slept
I'm sick of crawling through this muck
I was just trying to survive.
