I was a soldier in the first world war <br />You would not believe the things that I saw <br />I had to see my friend get shot to death <br />He did say to me within his last breath <br /> <br />I hate you boy, you put me in this mess <br />The thing that is killing me is the stress <br />If it wasnt for you, signing me up <br />I could be at home, drinking from a cup <br /> <br />This place is so terrible, I hate it <br />We are living in a pig - sty like pit <br />I am sorry my friend, I have been shot <br />I bid you farewell now, forget me not <br /> <br />This poem was written dedicated to the brave soldiers of WW1, who's brave efforts made Britain what it is today.<br /><br />jake redfern<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shot-dead-2/
