Collection 3

Our Worst Enemy

I look around and all I see is death,
It is a flowing river around me,
I live in fear of its ugly face,
Cringing anytime it gets near,
I am fighting for my life,
An unknown cause brought me here,
Death is a cruel enemy,
It is unforsaking,
It sneaks upon you,
No matter day or night,
No matter age or race,
All are treated alike,
All must face death.

War Hero's Query

I lie here in a pool of blood,
It is my blood,
I don't know where it's coming from,
I pain all over,
My heart is pounding,
My lungs are aching,
I can't remember anything,
except being shot,
By a machine gun,
Its powerful blow refuses to take my life,
I have to suffer the pains of war,
Why must I suffer,
Lying here in a pool of blood,
My blood
