Broken Soilder

There lay the body, Of a broken solider, The explosion swiped him clean, His slow breaths, Breathing in the murky air, All that was left, Of that poor man, Was body, leg and arm, He had a wife and 2 kids, But now no more, I still hear his laugh, Of jokes once betold, No more laughs for awhile, The D-Day had struck. 16/7/10 10:10am
