                       SOLDIERS IN BATTLE

SOLDIERS WAKE-UP THEY DREAD DEATH

HOWEVER THERE EXPERIENCE WILL BE FILLED WITH DEATH

THEY HIDE IN THE TRENCHES

THEY CRAWL ON THE GRASS

THEY USE CANNON BALLS

BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP THE INEVITABLE

DEATH DEATH DEATH NOTHING BUT DEATH

THEY WAKE-UP DEMANDING FOOD

INSTEAD THEY JUST ARE IN A REAL MOOD

THE SOLDIERS TRY

THE SOLDIERS DIE

THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ABOUT TO CRY

DEATH DEATH DEATH NOTHING BUT DEATH

THEY FIGHT IN THE TRENCHES

THEY GO TO MAKE WEAPONS

THEY EVEN MAKE CANONS

BUT NON OF THEM WILL WORK

DEATH DEATH DEATH NOTHING BUT DEATH

ON THE LAST DAY OF THE WAR

THE SOLDIERS TRY TO SURVIVE

THEY TRY TO DODGE BULLETS

THEY EVEN TRY TO SHOOT PEOPLE

BUT AGAIN NOTHING WILL WORK

DEATH DEATH DEATH NOTHING BUT DEATH

World war one has only just began

Were drinking rum

And were chewing gum

It smells so bad

We just saw a lad

He looks so sad

I don’t understand

I cant hear a sound

It  looks like a round

Gun fire and lights

They really want a fight

Its half way through , how

Can we lose we smell

Like booze we really

Shouldn’t snooze . Bombs

Exploding over my head

I can hear the dead.

Connor Males

Why him?

Why…why him… please,

He didn’t deserve it he’s.

So young what a terrible way to die,

Taking a bullet through the eye. 

Why is this happening please explain,

Who is causing this explosive pain?

What is happening to the world today?

When did this actually benefit men astray?

Bullets flying,

Men crying,

Glairing down the gun sight,

Gives you such a fright.

Finally it’s coming to an end,

Home is only just around the bend,

Many cheers lots of beers,

Wipe away all those tears.

Afghanistan

I don’t want to die,

I want to survive,

I want to grow old – go grey

                                          and wrinkled,

 see my children grow up…

Have my children.

That is how women feel in Afghanistan feel,

That they cannot walk down the street without the fear

They may be a bomb hidden,

A sniper on the roof,

Someone with a machine gun.

How lucky I am to live and love in safety,

Why can’t all the world live like us,

In safety! In peace! In happiness!

Why can’t they be left alone?

Trying not to love you

I’m trying not to love you

I’m trying not to care

I’m trying not to love my life wishing you were there

I’m trying not to wonder, where you are or what you’re doing

I’m sorry I can’t help myself

I fell in love with you
