War is like hell, <br />After the bullet went through my chest, <br />I felt the touch of death, <br />Listening to bombs hitting the ground, <br />Corpses hitting the surface beside me, <br />I thought I was dying, <br />Being dragged into a trench, <br />Medics fixed me up, <br />Back to the front I had to go, <br />Watch my men run into minefields, <br />Havoc, Horror, Pain is all I see around me, <br />Soldiers and civilians fighting as one, <br />Hand grenades flying in the air, <br />I hated war but I was back for the again, <br />Too many head shots to count, <br />No hole big enough to put the bodies, <br />No lake big enough to store the split blood, <br />We ran out of places to put the wounded, <br />Day after day, <br />Night after night, <br />The war raged on, <br />The man who always fought beside me, <br />He had enough, <br />He put a bullet through his head, <br />After two years, <br />The last bullet was fired, <br />The last bomb was dropped, <br />The last civilian killed, <br />I was the last man standing, <br />Then I yelled out, <br />War is like hell!<br /><br />Harley Morriss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/war-is-like-hell/
