Poem - WW1

 

Here we lay, down the deep sand

Sunshine is gone, but I only see grey

Wish I could spend a bit more time

I am in my twenties or thirty, but I’m in my prime

A minute or a second to go

My whole body is numb, face is blue

Very sorry, but I did my best

Life is over, through my dark red chest

Can’t help it, quick and fast

Can’t help it, but still smile

Never see the world, this is the end

I will always look down from the sky
