How do both sides feel? Copyright © 2004 Geraldine McMullan Doherty


How do both sides feel?

Gaunt weary faces in trenches rest
Uniforms camouflaged under hot skies
Are they thinking of enemies with despise in their eyes
Or their wives and children or comrades cries

Maybe a young enemy's face, not erased
Trembling ,frozen before them in great fear
Or splatters of blood that flew in the air
Or the young man's eyes that shed his last tear

Or maybe they are ruthless without a soul
No care for anyone just lust to kill
Do they laugh and count how many have died
And only saddened when the answer's nil

It's just another day another battle
Man killing man over religion and land
At the end of the day I can't see the sense
The Earth is one land made by God's hand.
