A War of Annihilation

Sunken circles Drawn faces, Exhaustion and fever gleam In the eyes of the badly wounded "If they cannot stand, They must be left behind" None of us protest As the situation is dire "If fate is merciful, They will freeze or bleed out before..." Aircraft engines roar in distant sky.. "Before Bolsheviks arrive." "A Soviet finds a litter half-dead defenseless men They take the first opportunity" To inflict upon a non combatant The most barbaric torture and mutilation. But we simply dispense a bullet Suitable for a soviet burden. Such is the war of total annihilation. Encircled and cut off Our forces attempt to break out at dawn, With our final act of symbolic dissent. We attempt to still survive. To give credence to the losses and suffering But apocalyptic ends await This starving pack of desperate animals
