War

 War


Smoke fills the ugly gray sky

Bullets and shells whizz close by

Narrowly missing soldiers’ heads

Deep muddy trenches are what they call beds


Even in sleep, they cannot 

Allow time to stop

To drift into blissful oblivion, far away

From this hell on earth, where they must stay

 

Living in constant fear

Of losing all that is dear

Every breath maybe their last

A minute feels like an hour past

 

A great pang is felt every time a comrade 

Leaves this world to hopefully one less sad

Yet ‘tis not the fault of the generals nor leaders nor the army head

But ours,the bloodthirsty creatures full of hate as Anne Frank rightly said


Else we would have stopped this idiotic warring business long back

Even longer before we could keep track
