from my angry young man period


War lovers by M.A.Meddings

War lovers

By M.A.Meddings

There is a dead soldier on the hill
Where the wind stirs the rippling sedge
Where the wild cock struts its blazen head
And shrieks its anger
To the sight
Of the dead soldier lying there


There's dirt on his tunic
And blood in his hair
Life has all gone just rotting there
Yet the bugles are blowing the poppies are growing
The generals are crowing
But theres a dead man upon the hil

Just lying there

A forceful piece this, the desolation and futility of it all, an excellent write well done :-)
