So tense am I <br />The falling sky <br />Holding my breath <br />Until the Death <br /> <br />It’s my life <br />So turn the scythe <br />Break the bread <br />And stop the Lead <br /> <br />Loud is it <br />The latest cry <br />But all the time <br />Red is the Dye <br /> <br />A placid face <br />Of Death’s clean lace <br />The slow coming of <br />A century’s Race <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 Dustin Bennefield<br /><br />Dustin Bennefield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/through-soldiers-eyes/
