English War

His English Blood
Mixed with the soil
he's covered with mud
serving alongside a Royal

Standing strong with thee
A body of an English Man
where's the Royalty?
When fighting for every man!

In War we fight,
but why and what for?
We do it with all our might.
I Hate this God Damn War!

I liked this. It was hard and sharp but the message was easily understood. I love how built this up to the final line. Nicely done Molly
