War

I walk on the field,

everything smells like burning flesh,

it smells like sweat,

the grass, the mud is wet,

I touch the ground,

it's not water,

on my fingers now lays blood,

the whole field isn't a field,

it's more like a flood,

bodies and blood,

I scream,

a body falls down with a thud,

I feel my hot tears running down my face,

as I cry,

there is no colour,

grey is the sky,

no white are the clouds,

not when every lies a crowd,

now being buried ina shroud,

it is a sore view for young eyes,

this is no place for a child,

the field is too wild,

why am I here in the first place?,

what made me be here?,

fighting for my country,

had me turn into a fool,

for fighting so eager,

yet too cool for school,

I'am blind,

in my heart,

no longer kind,

lost in my mind,

war,

it frightens me to my core.
