The Push
Under the cover of night
Metal rattling
vibrating
The numb stinging
Shadowed tinted firelights
And all I could see
Shots in the dark
Machine guns sparks
Some would fall
Some would stand strong and tall
All is in nothing
When all seems worth nothing
Blood running in the snow
Gunshots illuminate the dying’s eyes’ fearful glow
Grenades blast man tanks with fury
The line falls heavy behind
As fireballs blast the dirt raising dust clouds with flurries
Eyes look high weary within their surprise
One more push
Into orange rage
One more test of blind faith
Memories only to fade
Slowly against the pain
Loveless wars never beckon
Nor the endless trail of remembered, unforgettable
Heartbreaking blood stains
