"Demons Disguised As Soldiers

This is a story I wrote for my 10th grade World History class last year. It stressed me out writing it but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Enjoy!

"Demons Disguised As Soldiers"

Time and time again I find myself here

Why must the war go on?

Is God near?

Let me speak to him, for I have questions

People perish before me every day

I am a lowly witness of Death's handiwork

It causes me great dismay

Why, God?

Men risking their lives every day in the trenches

Shot down, their bodies twisting and turning like wrenches

Demons disguises as soldiers, taking out their opponents

With reckless abandon, one by one

Their fierce yet anguished cries are heard all throughout

Acting as a warning who all who try to stop them

Men hoping and fighting for a better life

Struggling to maintain their sanity

The only thing that keeps them going is their families

And the thought of freedom

The lord looks down at them, whispering words of hope

"Do not fret;

The war will be over soon"
