Field Of Dreams

The World has stated our freedom,
the worms shall share a soldier's fear.
To look above my trench
is to be a thief in the night.
Life shall lurk, afraid of what is above.

My brothers wait for their moment
the maverick shell will deal the deck.
The queen of spades shall flirt with all,
hoping to sear our blood against this iron of hate.
War treats victims with the vindictive pain of foe 
for non are welcome to this battlefield.

The steam from burning bodies is wine to the party,
this thrill of reality a true Russian roulette.
A link  between man and beast, 
for we all take part in this unifying glory of slaughter.

Refugees are we
the artists and the poets,
fraudsters and scam artists
We manipulate waist paper and propaganda,
for the legacy of death is ours.

Bully beef is king for contentment is rare,
we give thanks to cattle sacrifice.
I share existence with comrades temporary, 
my ghosts exist In Gods lungs.
Their  memories haunt my sanity
the last sinner's refuge to comrades condemned,
for we shall never tell the truth.

We are and were common men,
obedience is what we do.
Threatened by a lieutenant boy,
but  all will cry this night.

No home shall know this fear,
for we are the blood of England.
Our betters will try and sanitise our demise
in  poppies and salutes,
which  will heal in public memory,
but poppies are meant to bloom
not to fall from cathedral skies. 

Pour our blood on sacred earth,
drink, disciples of this last supper
for our humanity resides in you.
Paint your galleries in gallant charge
and hold the hand of fallen stars. 
Unknown corpse shall not linger in
the spirit must moves on.

Life is fleeting, the logistics of killing a fact.
Blood will dry before a baking sun
or hide in in monsoons quagmire
and somewhere in the lost,
 lies a forgotten smile
a lover's heart  and a dream
of a generation gone.

Dreams belong to our time, 
and forever is a deity dream.
Do what you will with this gold.
Fill your coffers with tomorrows hunger
for harvests will come again.

Our final moment has arrived,
a cold micro second within a distant universe.
We are ready to leave this trench,
talk is quenched by silence.

The voice of shell will play the stage.
Maim and confirm the kill,
 in the light of demons 
and give your applause to God.
Blood will sign the death certificate
and the reaper will overplay his hand.

An easy day for him, for this is the tsunami of man.
The reaper wil dance on the corpses surrendered,
though he still has to tango with flies,
for they have no respect for him.

The lead will rant a blazing tune
like  lovers ill matched,
arguing who shall live or die.
Daffodils felled for market,
a mothers day greeting in the morning post.
And the milkman will deliver the milk
to doorsteps old and new

The tears will be washed in corporation water
for the lead pipes have not yet been stolen,
and the trams pass by oblivious.
For grey  faces dead read the law of man,
humanity need another day.
Another hero  insanity dictates,
for tomorrow promises to be
another glorious day.
