Poets of the Trench |
| As my face reflects |
| Behind enemy lines |
| Yet separated by |
| Barbwire and mines |
| Knee deep in freezing mud |
| Best «pals» breath I tried to regain |
| The worst factor is, not knowing |
| Of the time that remains |
| Contamination dashes in a bloody trench |
| Poetry written amongst shrapnel and friends |
| Sanity buckles under the weight |
| Of steel and spraying lead |
| Howitzers toll an ominous death knell |
| Ear-splitting elegy above those who fell |
| Corruption seeks a lonesome trace |
| Gangrenous limbs or a blown off face |
| Amputation in the killing field |
| Infection overcomes, affection concealed |
| Puppets of war race over the edge |
| Commence death dance at close quarters |
| Hope of truce torn and bloodstained |
| A thousand lives lost and only twenty yards gained |
| As battle tires out |
| And bombing starts to die |
| Dead soldiers all around |
| With fear injected into their eyes |
| 400.000 Britain’s dead |
| 600.000 Germans put to rest |
| Fallen in the battle of Somme |
| One million youngsters dead and gone |
