General (Quatrain)

A Big tall general

Standing strong

Leading the federals

Never going to be gone

D-Day[W.W.II][Juno beach]

As we go into our landing craft
We start sailing toward the beach slowly
And we run towards the bad guys
We hide behind the blocks of steel
And we wait till someone brave will stand up
and fight. After that someone has died he will
be remembered for the rest of our lives.

TO A DEAD SOlDIER (Shakespearen sonnet)



HROUGH all the primrose paths of morning called

Your feet to follow them, and all the winds

Of all the hills of earth, with plucking hands

Wooed you to slopes that shone like emerald,

You might not go. The thin green grass that binds

Your feet had Earth and Death to forge its bands.

 

The rain's wet kiss is on your lips, where lay

Once the live pulses of a woman's soul;

Your eyes give back unto the quiet sky

Only the sheen of stars, the glare of day,

Or darkness when the kindly shadows roll

Up from the sea to hide you where you lie.

 

No woman's whisper holds your strong heart spent

And breathless. All the silver horns that blew

While legions cheered, are still. These things are done,

But these you have: a death for monument,

And peace you died to buy, and after you

The laughing play of children in the sun.

Horrible Facts

"If you unravelled all the tiny tubes in your kidneys and laid them from end to end, they would stretch  80 kilometres (50 miles). Yet they scrunch up to fit into kidneys only 10 centimetres (4 inches) long."

In the soldiers words(free verse)

"Here we are. We can smell the blood. It's death."
" All of the men and women dead!"
"I lost my Friend in battle."
"The place you call hell I call home."
"The way to go is to stay a way from the war of it all."
"Only the dead have seen the end of war"
"In war there is no such thing as un-injured soldiers."
