=**Poem**=

Many have died. You can’t count the tears I have cried.

All through the night bombs fill the air. Many try to fall back asleep in despair.

I’ve seen so many tragedies you wouldn’t believe. Sometimes I wish I could just leave.

I watched my best friend die in poisonous gas It seems like people are falling by the mass.

Another man I knew got shot to the ground. I felt like I heard his heart’s one last pound.

If you look over the trench wall bodies fill the floor. Not even to mention all of the guns and bombs roar.

I signed up for this war when I was just a naive boy. They made fighting for your country seem to be a joy.

Now after everything I have seen. Life back at home seems to be nothing but a dream. . I never know if I am going to die. It scares me to see an old friend covered in flies.

I had so much I could have done. I now don’t know why someone made something as evil as a gun.

For the last week I have been standing in mud and water. I wish I could go home to see my daughter.

When I look up I see a bomb’s glare. I sit back down and say another prayer.
