In the Trench

The freezing rain came down upon them

with the thunder of artilery cracking in the distance,

and their clothes soaked in mud; 

 

The long days of war took their toll,

waiting for something to happen,

waiting to die

 

Left and right they saw their mates drop

like flies; but with no where to bury the bodies;

already hiding in their own graves

 

Slaves to their fears

with knowhere to go

many begin to crack under the pressure

 

Looking upon the cratered field in front of them,

some stepped out and attempted to cross

but knowing it was suicide they were put down 

like dogs!!!!!
