Life In The Trenches Poem by Dan Jordan
Life In The Trenches
Shells are exploding
Rapidly above my trench,
They blow themselves to
Pieces with all of the
Enemies hatred and rage.
The tremendous blast is
Overwhelming; my ears
can not cope with the
Exploding rage; gloomy,
Deep red blood is beginning
To pour out from my
Shell-shocked ear drums.
It is impossible to avoid the
Horror-stricken sight of
One of my mates wailing
And screaming in agony, as
They die a very slow and cumbersome
Death.
My colonel shouted, “Into no man's land you go! ”
There's no time to prepare for the hell of a battle
Which awaits me. I feel a shudder of anxiety
Tingle down my spine; as the dark and mysterious
Shadows of no man's land hang solemnly above
My trench, and into the depths of the murky
And eerie mud below.
I must put all of those terrible and
Patronising thoughts and sights aside,
For it is my destiny to climb
Over the flesh shredding barbed wire,
And venture deep into no man's land.
Nice write, WWI scenario i should i guess, right? Very Good Write! ! I liked it because it was real episode of life itself, for it was all but deadly and dangerous living in the trenches.
This is amazing! i love it! it's great! i really truley love it. keep writeing, ur very good! - angelica
Very good. It removes the glamour of war and replaces it with a much truer picture. Keep writing Ron
Very well written. Why should we fight in no man's land? Is it not better to share land and resource and live in peace? ! Aren't we brothers in humanity and God's sons?
