WHY?

Hanging alone among the threads of death
Swaying with the winds
Still grasping guns and wounds
Some gasping
Their final words
" For country and Queen"
Then joining their fellows in paradise
NO pain NO Evil.
WHY DO THE INNOCENT SUFFER AND DIE?

Barbed wire, the threads of death
Still clinging onto it's victims
Whistles and howls in the wind
Craters all around
Hide men who try
To cut loose the deformed bodies.
WHY DO THE INNOCENT SUFFER AND DIE?

The eerie light of flares
The deafening thump of the shells
And the continuous screams of the afflicted
Is this all real?
Or is it a nightmare?
WHY DO THE INNOCENT SUFFER AND DIE?

WHY?
