nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

WHEN THE SOLDIERS CAME

The wheat fields
Are burning
The bridges 
Are blown
Dead horses
And cattle
A child whimpers
Alone.

Villages ablaze
Bodies on ground
The enemies rifles
A cracking sound
That echoes in
Smokefilled air
The trees are wounded
By shelling afar.

The triumphant march on
More victims ahead
Birds in the sky
Sunshine to shed
Warming rays to ground
To bathe and forget
Mere pawns in a game
That man doesnt regret.
