Steven Mckelvey-Vaughan Poet I do not know?

I Lie Here Ready To Die

I Lie Here Ready To Die
War is crud.
Laying here in the mud
My mates shot down
Like flies
All around
I cry out for help
I get no response
I lie here ready to die
My bloodshot eyes see is the dark gloomy sky
All I can hear are guns firing and bombs flying
A thousand rounds towards my mates
BOOM BOOM BOOM,
They now lie in the same mud as me.
All that is rushing through my head
Is my family
Oh how sad my children
And my wife will be
When they know their only father and husband
Now lays dead with a bullet through his head.
But I wish this was a dream something that will pass
I would rather be lying in bed
Not having to worry about me and my mates being dead
And as I lie here with these thoughts flickering through my head
I fall unconscious
Then I am dead.
