He held the sword ready, standing very still, The seconds ticked by. He charged towards me, I was taken by surprise, His sword casually slicing my forearm. Covered in dirt, I howled in pain As my weapon fell fo the ground. I danced back, trying to stem the flow of blood. He brought his clenched fist down on my shoulder blade, As I tried to move in for a throw, he shifted his weight slightly, sticking out his foot As I went tumbling, the smell of venom entered my nostrils. I coughed and fell back again, struggling to breathe, Franticly searching for my gas mask, I grab my weapon. Just as my enemy goes to pick up his cutlass, Another shoots my right shoulder Gasping for clean air, I watch All my comrades explode before my eyes As I lay slowly, silently, slipped out of consciousness, I could taste the invisible death upon me, Choking, panting, wheezing, blind, fear, trembling, cold, Absolute horror, as death slouches upon me....

War
He held the sword ready, standing very still, The seconds ticked by. He charged towards me, I was taken by surprise, His sword casually slicing my forearm. Covered in dirt, I howled in pain As my weapon fell fo the ground. I danced back, trying to stem the flow of blood. He brought his clenched fist down on my shoulder blade, As I tried to move in for a throw, he shifted his weight slightly, sticking out his foot As I went tumbling, the smell of venom entered my nostrils. I coughed and fell back again, struggling to breathe, Franticly searching for my gas mask, I grab my weapon. Just as my enemy goes to pick up his cutlass, Another shoots my right shoulder Gasping for clean air, I watch All my comrades explode before my eyes As I lay slowly, silently, slipped out of consciousness, I could taste the invisible death upon me, Choking, panting, wheezing, blind, fear, trembling, cold, Absolute horror, as death slouches upon me....
