Voices
Did you spare a thought for today?
Or were you so engrossed the moment passed?
Did drink play a part in your demeanour?
Your constant thinking
Causes you to surround yourself
With the thoughts of the dead,
Who spoke to you tonight?
Did he scream?
Or talk calmly from beyond?
I live each waking moment
Hear each round as it falls
Suffer the impact of every shell
Do you remember?
The sound of every round
Shrill cries,
The smell of death,
Destruction of a friend,
True to life in death,
The end of dreams,
Death of a mate!
The game goes on.
Who speaks to you?
