After conscription to endure
One outing
I’ve no heart or smile for a new
Bon voyage
You have no heart or smile
Came a reply
Is this truly what you think
Is this what I have become
A person sober and grey
Without appetite
For life
Perhaps Iv'e forgotten it's taste
Perhaps I am anorexic
Perhaps your right
Perhaps I’m tarnished
Perhaps I never forget
Perhaps the poppies will cease to whisper

Impossible for me to imagine the horror of war..
But having a go, this is how I may have responded after serving and surviving WW1 only to be faced with prospect of doing it all over again in WW2. Last British soldier to serve in both wars past away in 2009 - Respect love and light
