 Splish Splashes Of Life

WAR


Blood and gore
Lifeless corpse
Maggot eating
Fermenting body
Sunken eye sockets
All this you can find in war

Little pieces strewn about
A nose and ear
Fingers and an arm
Toes dismembered
 A half a skull
And you tell me not to shout

A head with no top
A hollowed out shadow
Skin burned in to the earth
A banged up helmet
A dying moan
Each one all alone
Fight to the death, never stop

Once there were tears
Once there was laughter
Now they vegetate
N0 longer sure
Why they had to suffer
Through blood and gore
Try to forget the rest of their years
