The Sadness of WarfareA Poem by ElectrochiqueA poem from the point of view of a soldier who has died in WW1. The poem itself is a little negative, but i hope the rhythm and energy gives it something a little bit special :)
When I awoke to my despair
I'd seen they'd left without a care A sudden thought this is not fair A sad result of this warfare I had thought I'd hit my head To my surprise I was quite dead A bullet wound and how it bled A lost cause the soldiers said I walked around the battlefield Looking down, my wounds had heeled My ghostliness, it was revealed Such a life could not much yeild I wondered why they had left me Did no one want to mourn my body? Did they think i would be happy? To know they'd left my poor old body? On the battlefields I decay And throw my ghostly life away Continuing in my dismay On the battlefields i will stay
