The war they fought is over now.
Peace may they find at last,
beneath the fields that once run red,
with the blood of half a million dead.
The land is now peaceful and tranquil there,
no more carnage does it share,
no more thunder of dropping shells,
or the cries and tortured yells.
Just the ghosts of men who fought,
and died before their time.

I sleep no more in purity
Living has tainted my liferunning close to the devil’s claw.I have no evil in my heart,nor is it hard, as stone,but running near the darknesshas blurred my vision so.I seek no repentancefor no crime I have committed.I only search nowfor the innocence I lostbefore my life was tainted.20 January 2012
