Blistered lips, sweat stinging thine eyes Mushroom cloud has you mesmerized Belly to ground, Slithering like snake Beneath my body the earth starts to quake Sirens wailing, fall out and take cover The smoke in the air so thick it could smother The sound of clips shot through darkened bells Watching men die by shotgun shells Dirty faces hiding behind forest trees Innocents crying and ignored pleas Bullets flying, aimed to kill Some of these men, mysteriously ill Fear strikes my heart from what I see Heat seeking missles coming for me Duck and run, thrust into a pit It misses me and there I sit Out of breath, my body is numb Knowing that I will not succumb I load up my uzi, and my shotgun too grenades on my belt shall wait for my cue Across my chest, bullets are strapped Shot of my gun, another one capped A whole line stands, staring me down Too many to fight, too many around I pull from my side a grenade full of sin With my pearly whites, I pull out the pin I Toss it to them and run from there The grenade exploded with uproarious glare They're taken out and my hands have now killed My tainted soul the blackness has filled Stains on my hands of crimson red blood A pain in my heart, my eyes start to flood I make a vow, to keep it I strive If I get out of this alive Never again will I ever submit I swear of this upon holy writ For now I stay and do this act To slay mine enemy, to painfully attack My fear stricken heart is painfully sore Engulfed within the rages of war � Neppy, May 29th, 2001 Back to Poetry |
