Christmas Spent In War
snow
stained red
frightened eyes
tears scorch and burn
gas-filled bombs on Christmas in our trenches
Far from home dying and dead lay scattered
where bombs explode
on Christmas
with gifts
death
screams
anguished
silent graves
frozen in place
we may never see another Christmas
