Death's Favorite Thing
totalyLost

If there are spelling mistakes I am so very Sorry

this poem was written for my World History class when I was in 10 grade...I'm a senior now. ^_^


War is not glorified
 1
it's not a flower
 2
with beauty being held.
 3
 
 
War is a torcerous pain
 4
pain felt in the heart
 5
and felt on the body
 6
the pain is felt at home
 7
for the loss of love in war
 8
the pain is felt in self
 9
for the loss of limb and life
 10
and if you live through it
 11
the pain lives on forever
 12
for it's hard to forget
 13
the bloddied bodies of friends
 14
lying on the feild of death
 15
 
 
War is a fright ful sound
 16
big booms and crashes
 17
the squeal of rockets passing over head
 18
the deafening sound of death
 19
the torcured screams
 20
of a soildier in flames
 21
the cries of a mother
 22
for the loss of her son
 23
the only relife is to be deaf
 24
but hear the sounds once
 25
and you will hear them forever
 26
 
 
The smell is worse
 27
the putrid scent of a courpse longe dead
 28
the smell of blod
 29
and fire and death
 30
of burning flesh
 31
forever seared into your mind
 32
 
 
War tastes like ash and dirt
 33
like blood shining on the corpses
 34
of soilders newly dead
 35
torn apart by the eplosions
 36
it tastes like gunpowder and metal
 37
burnt buscuits and beef stew
 38
but most of all it tastes like death
 39
slowly stirred into this deadly brew
 40
 
 
the sight of war is worst of all
 41
war loks like a graveyard
 42
without the stoney headstones
 43
pits of people
 44
buried deep
 45
it looks like deaths graveyard
 46
with people buried neck deep
 47
buried on teh feild
 48
the souls of the soilder's haunt
 49
while their bodies are eaten
 50
by rats, crows, and moths
 51
the battle feild looks good to them
 52
the last place that they saw
 53
the perfect place to haunt
 54
with bodies piled high
 55
 
 
war is not glory
 56
and was is not sweet
 57
if anything
 58
war is
 59
