scar at the heart

You look down the blood infested trench

men with dead lifeless eyes

you fix your metal horn

your dance partner gives you a scowl and jumps at you like a bear

millions of metal teeth chewing at any thing it it can find

your home floods with red water

you see all people around you getting bitten

COUNTER ATTACK!!!!!

you jump over the wall

step over the the bodies

limbs everywhere

the man in front of you disappears into the brief flame

will you be next

you move forward into no mans land

you can hear the bangs of machine guns

and then the screams of innocent men dieing

something lands in front of you

GRENADE!!!

you throw it back it blows up

kills the enemy

you keep moving

more bodies

you fall into a wet ditch some on is there

he is alive and prey ing

he cries and runs off

you hear his scream

some one else comes in

it is one of yours

but his eyes are empty his face is empty

DEAD!!!

you look over the the ditch

mother has just hung the washing

but the cloths have been mixed up with the red

you feel the beat in your neck

you run

you shoot

you infultrate

BEHIND YOU!!!

he runs at you

you stab him

he dies

and more of your classmates arrive

you never forget this

it is a scar at the heart
