Life Stalls

End of Days Last days

Every Muscle ached,

he blinked his eyes

at every blurry scene around him

foul stench, heavy smoke, and lots of flies

filled the air,

he squirmed as he tried to stand,

almost as if he was offered a dare,

but he just stayed where he had fallen,

voices heard, but none calling,

he tried to remain calm,

he wasn’t trying to be abusive

where life was holding death over him,

then he realized where he was,

war- torn fields, explosions, fire,

turmoil and everyone is in dire,

then no more pretend, no more fighting,

death calls,

he falls,

life stalls.

Wow. This reminded me of the horrid fiction novels I have read throughout my life. Such a powerful pain wrapped up in so little time. War seems to last a lifetime when, in reality, so much happens in just a few seconds.
