Fallen Men

A poem about war. "Winter was coming, so cold, cold, his coat was full of bullettholes.."

Winter was coming, cold, cold

His coat was full of bullettholes

The sky was transparent like ice

He pulled the trigger with madness in his eyes

The wind was blowing, wild, wild

Every warm body stayed inside

A freezing blizzard had begun

A blizzard of bullets from a machine gun

Winter was coming, cold, cold
The car was full of bullettholes
She held his hand as he closed his eyes
Just another bullet, another life

The wind was blowing, wild, wild
The snow covered those who died
They pretended no one died in vain
Pulled the trigger to kill again

Winter was coming, cold, cold
The hearts were full of bulletsholes
History repeated as no rules applied
Only hatred reached the other side

The wind was blowing, wild, wild
The shots echoing in the air outside
Why cant we ever comprehend
That nothing is solved with the blood of fallen men

[Gee]

Will we never learn there are no winners in wars fought.Mmmmm,you're good...

[Johanna]

Thankyou.. and thankyou for reading and writing reviews, means a lot

[Gee]

Although not blessed with a great grasp of the English language(did to much talking and not enough listening at school!!!))I will always try to review a poem,if I've enjoyed reading,even if I only say"lovely".It's gives the poet a lift to know that their work is enjoyed.Thank you for thanking me,that's appreciated too.....

[Johanna]

yes and that does mean a lot, and some days when you feel like everything you write isn´t good some reviews are gold

[Gee]

Indeed,same as life,sometimes just a passed smile can make your day.I'm surprised your poetry has not had more reviews,I don't know wether or not you already do but you can send read requests,as all poetry, if time taken to post, deserves to be read,and hopefully reviewed.People will read,review if asked,as they mostly do the same themselves.

I do send them out, but I don´t get that many.. part of it is my fault, some poems aren´t that good and some of it is because I don´t always have the time to review stuff myself, so I don´t think I deserve that many after all.
