War Horror

damp mold smell of the earth slaves of destruction some seven thousand strong made into moles tunnels miles, miles long nine hundred each month on the backs beaten on to win a war miles above on the land... darkness disrupted by dim, flickering lights death struts unceasingly below as above the madness of men staged with no intermissions.. cries and moans struck by sharp shouts and drilling machines scream excrement and urine mix with blood and sweat and choking dust with bits of sliver-sharp shards flying off slicing into skin layer upon layer levels of concrete shelves manned under the hands of evil.. rockets slowly rolling into place.. menacing, sharp nosed tubes to shoot into the heavens then turn down and scream towards towns.. no warning.. no hiding.. hits bursting, busting, disintegrating flesh on what was only moments before just a soft, sunny, average day **approx. EIGHTY MILLION Souls Passed Away in World War II**
