No End

No End
The roar of the rockets the scream of the shells
The blasting of the bombs a war orchestra
Only complete with the human side cost
Dead minced broken bodies once people
Now all thrown over the landscape
Like so many dead fish cast upon the sea
Little remaining except an example of war
The ultimate cost now of no names dead
Your friend was killed over there by a mortar
Your lover over here by a bullet all are the same
Dead in this war like the last and the next
