Japanese Sunrise Date: Thursday, 1st December 2005 @ 12:10:04 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: adsalamon Up a hill Under Japanese sunrise Shouts and screams of Combat teams Slug it up over dented mud Over dented bodies Duck & cover, Duck & cover! Thoughts of home and of lover Invade your mind – DAMN Must focus! As bullets whiz past ears A ringing “Grenade”, shouts a sergeant In a tone that is urgent Man up ahead Lost his head, as shrapnel blooms Like a spring flower But with military power Aim & Shoot, Aim & Fire Blood mixed with what you perspire Up a hill – under Japanese sunrise This poem is Copyright © adsalamon Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
