Telegraphs From A Bloody War

 

I

 

the war has lasted to long stop

my army is dwindling stop

3 days ago buried hope stop

he was the first to fall stop

self-esteem and confidence gone lost stop

presumed dead stop

need medical supplies stop

happiness lying wounded stop

nothing to kill pain stop

hurry with reserves end

 

II

field a mass of corpses stop

bloody and severed stop

happiness died stop

slow and agonizing stop

independence turned up missing stop

later found he ran also presumed dead stop

youth and myself are all that remain stop

reinforcements needed immediately end

 

 

III

camp has been raided stop

debris and fire all around stop

youth gone stop

went down in explosion stop

rests in shallow grave on horizon stop

my enemy compliance comes for me stop

closer in the haze of smoke stop

send no help stop

all is lost end
