Moments before the darkness took hold
With life’s light fading from my eyes
My mind chose regret as its victory lap
Misjudgements in need of apprise
Of naivety in heeding the call
Of goodbyes to small wife and son
Of glorious lies in uniform’s shroud
Of trading my pen for a gun
Marching through fields left fallow forlorn
Past crosses set row upon row
They bespoke a horror we chose to ignore
Through chorus of battle and foe
Amidst poison gas, the shrapnel, the lead
Fockers training hell from the sky
The Earth and the rain congealed to conspire
The last rights of our own funeral pyre
Cast aside in a blood red tide
Onwards to slaughter we march
Onwards to slaughter we…..die
