The sun shine scorns on the land which we are No inch is not tainted with the stench of death We have left our home, and traveled afar To only now embrace our final breath
The hill of dead pile up, more and more Some of the dead being as young as eighteen No happiness that the future might store Could be worth the price of blood we’ve seen
Like animals, are purpose is to die Being canon fodder is our fate from birth Happier is one who never questions why One in ignorance, believing their worth
Next war for our sons, as they too must pall Would be much better to not be born at all!
Sonnet about war I wrote for English class at school. October 12, 2018
