Muddy water was all we had to drink
we went weeks without eating
the field, a soup bowl
a graveyard of tanks and landmines
and every ten minutes we heard an explosion....

Our feet were rotting from gangrene
A soldier had his arm sawed off
and a cigarette sticking out of his mouth
We cuddle with our bayonets
and we kissed the blades
pretending that they were our wives

Flies had began to gather
swarming in a soldiers mouth
his eyes rolled to the back of his head
a bullet though his chest, his medals stripped
and his coffin became the soil...
Injustice spawns from anger
and when you have a combination of the two
then spawns the birth of a revolution
Her lips had the familiar taste
of wine, cherry lipstick and blood...
Between the realms of heaven and hell
life seems like purgatory
Our hearts were placed in ovens
with the rotisserie setting set on lust
I laid bloodied
bloodied by own hands,
the same hands that grasped her throat
which grasped my heart....
