Voices from the Front

Horror has but only one tale
the advantage of which is the memory trail.
Trial upon trial reverberates
the mind of disquiet never stops the painful state.

Give me a rest, a peace
I can breathe no longer
the taste of flesh and blood and smoke and disease.
I am a man of valour I know,

But what of the carnage
whom ever is to know
as my mind does repeat the stories I have seen
and oh how horrid they are
to those, as I who too have been to battle and seen.
