"sollum" poems
It was dark in the mountains of Sollum Near Benghazi close by the sea And the shadows of early September They cling to the dark Euka tree The night fell softly around us The dunes brought a cool restful peace The skies list their Orange-bursting thunder As the shell-fire would finally cease Our dead,(yes alas there were many) Burning on with a smell oh so foul Was mixed with the odor of dying And the final expelling of bowel We waited,(we numbered just five now) Of the hundred that came to this place While a victory we never doubted It's now bitter finish we face Our names and this battle forgotten Again 'neath the soft desert moon A lover and there his beloved They rest by the old Moorish ruin The desert will cover our presence In less than a lifetime or so O'er our graves the Bedouin wanders And the laboring caravans go

Dreams,(in the Western Desert)
your words has just went around saying your life away. just say nothing cause when the ******** have taken every thing? all that left was my trust of your. your life is nothing but worthless lies that only make my anger stair right threw you. your lies are just shatter'd lies your voice is sollum by your voice says nothing but your own truth you dig your own grave. i have been told lies have only took lives to there own death. my friend you have tryed to guid me well but the bull **** lies when you leave this town. i thought you could trust but i have vanished into the deepest part of the shadows. your words have only hurt me but my voice says i have healed and i dont have to care.
