Flashback

Flashback

Beaten, bombed, bruised
merciless, hurt, choked

Why no peace?
Why war?
Embedded in my head is the gore

Envy, dying, dead
shooting, screams, the tears I shed

Why no peace?
Why war?
Captivated in my head the gore

Fear, friend, blood
gas, dizzy, he dies in the mud

Why no peace, why war?
Why the battle?
Trapped in my head is the war!

He sacrificed his life for his country
He was involved in the weather of weapons
Every year poppies, I give them to you
but most of all I love and remember you.
