[hometext] => i wrote this to emphasise my distaste in the utter futility of war and how people are manipulated into fighting
[bodytext] => The harrowing screams Of a twisted dream The burst of flames Let out by passing planes Now illuminated by a flare You’ll take a step if you dare You run in fear Hunted like a deer You run to flee But you can no longer see Blinded by heat in a haze You turn you gaze You line up your shot You aim with your dot And within this sin of war Within the din of dawn You hesitate Your body frozen broken by a bullet An eerie silence falls over you in the dark You fall on the open plain And writhe in pain Without any gain You howl for help in vain Your heartbeat slows The pain goes You are met by cold You stutter your cries You shutter your eyes You struggle for breath And in embrace death And fall into a husky twilight Of the night And as the horizon lingers over the land Your body rests among the sand No medals No memoirs on who you were Or why you died The forgotten soldier Whose unit tried?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
