            War

Sand is everywhere.

The armor weighs you down.

The fear is always there,

bombs explode all around.

Always fearing death's grasp.

Feeling the fear take control.

I can not let it last,

war makes my heart grow cold

Work is never ending.

Sweat covers my body.

What's the weather sending?

Is this my destiny?

Where water equals life

and men mean to kill me.

Is my head in the sights?

It may be meant to be.

Finally sent back home,

safe in my own country

But the demons aren't gone

because they haunt my dreams.
