War

War

A Poem by Livenrite

though it's not yet night
the sky is fully black 
fires are burning bright
a world is under attack 

bullets in the air 
the blasts are deafening
beyond the enemy's lair
every move threatening

crawling on the ground
reaching a short stone wall
dared not to make a sound
lest my brethren will fall 

turning my head to the side
when i hear a loud thump 
my tears i cannot hide 
nor swallow the giant lump

it is my best friend
with horror in his eyes
his heavy breathing ends
as his heartbeat slowly dies

though it's not yet night
my world is fully black 
i can no longer fight
my world is under attack

Wow. A superb write.
Thought provocative.
Great work.

Feel of Vietnam or any sort of affair where not everyone shooting everyone is wearing a uniform.
