MY WAR

Look, Look at the soldiers
Some young, some old
Some Cowards, Some Bold
Drowning, drowning in their own blood

Listen; Listen to the war
Bombs bursting, Artillery pounding
Children, screaming in the night

Will it ever stop?
Will it ever end?

Feel, Feel the war
The anguish, the pain
The humility, the despair

Smell, Smell the war
The smoke, the seared flesh
The pungent odor of death is everywhere

Will it ever stop?
Will it ever end?

Taste, taste the war
The bitterness, the defeat
The Victory, bittersweet

Will it ever stop?
Will it ever end?

Will it, EVER
