The Great War


The Great War

I’m on the boat hoping I won’t get blown up.
About to reach the beach- dreading.
We hit land, I see hundreds dead, bleeding
Cries, painful cries, shouting for a medic

People getting blown up, penetrating bullets flying everywhere
I’m running my head off like there’s no tomorrow
The fear of dying is crushing
I get shot in the arm, blood soaking my sleeve.
