~HOMECOMING~ (poem I wrote in class one day)
They all go to fight
Expecting to be heroes
But I see the darker side of their logic
Such enthusiasm I see as I wait silently on the battlefield
Laughter and joking I hear from all those who surround me
Talk about the upcoming battle or previous ones echoes on the ground
But silence falls as the battle approaches
Shots are fired, flags are waving
Commands are flying left and right
I slink around the chaos like a snake stalking its pray
Watching as people fall
Also watching as others barely escape my grasp
The deafening sounds of battle are everywhere
But the worst sounds of all are the screams
Screams from the injured, screams from the dying
Neither can be distincted upon as which one is more agonizing
Seeing the light leave one's eyes, the color drain from one's face
Oh, just what this fighting has done to all the human race
Blood now stains the ground, almost everywhere one can step
One the battle is over, I count those that are left
And I am grateful that during this battle
They have escaped me following them on their homecoming
