Four blocks, yet more to come Derelict hopes are crushed by the Perpetual, cacophonous blast of the Somme. My brethren wail for fears their mothers will pay them a visit. I juxtapose my own existence in this war machine. (I can hear them in my sleep) My ears are ringing a ballad, A barber shop quartet echoing; Paradox’s that fester in the inferno. A ticket to my ever-so soon visit, Rage. Am I but mere kindling to the flames of the Somme?

Rendez-vous with Death
Four blocks, yet more to come Derelict hopes are crushed by the Perpetual, cacophonous blast of the Somme. My brethren wail for fears their mothers will pay them a visit. I juxtapose my own existence in this war machine. (I can hear them in my sleep) My ears are ringing a ballad, A barber shop quartet echoing; Paradox’s that fester in the inferno. A ticket to my ever-so soon visit, Rage. Am I but mere kindling to the flames of the Somme?
The madness of a First World War soldier.
