Deadly Enemies

The movie got it all wrong you see those big guns pointed at a different horizon the battle that raged had more prisoners than dead but that’s old news and dead men tell no tales your ranks are depleted troops fighting formidable forces against all odds trench warfare now a brutal war of endless attrition in the interest of annihilating deadly enemies all heroes make it home eventually notify the next of kin for the dead all wars come to an end eventually rally the troops for the final campaign the outcome is certain ticker tape parade the ground in ruins soldiers fade away reflections of the wreckage an inevitability though the cost was great the heart rejoices.
