Chapter 2: Life In The Trenches The Lost And Forgotten

Dead bodies line the road

The wounded wandering around hopelessly

Sanity running on empty

In the distance you can hear

The shrieks

The wounded pleading and crying

In the field

For a medic

But none shall answer

Their hopeless calls

In the idle of all this pain, dieing and agony

I stop to think

How could parents send their only sons here?

Why do men enlist for this hell?

How come some live and some die?

Amongst all the confusion

Fighter pilots circle overhead

Like vultures seeking its pray

As the bombs drop all around me

I am unaware

I simple stare at all the destruction and mayhem

Then everything stops

I can see people moving

But I cannot hear them

Glass shatters from a near by window

I see the shards of glass

But cannot feel them

I am numb

As reality comes to consume me once again

I now hear the screams

I now feel the pain

There is no way to escape

This madness

This is my hell
