Battle Fields
Screams from a thousand men
upon bloodied fields,
the blood dripping
from the hedges
and over-reaching briars.
Look to that blood...
smear its life-gone sap
into your soul
and start to count the bodies
on the fields.
You will find a thousand...
Each one will have blood
around his head and throat
and you won't forget the scene
should you live a hundred years.
