Short Bloodiest Poems

How I wish troops were  withdrawn from the  battlefield;
And peace talks were honoured and  respected.
How I wish there was a time when guns were silent;
To end one of the bloodiest wars on earth !...

The bloodiest vampire
Doesn’t live very far
I can hear his scream
Every morning it seems
He stays out late
And doesn’t quite make
His way back to his lair
To only evaporate in despair

They say, all is done to please the mightiest of Gods,
Then, why oh why, mankind is up-against such
					Bloodiest of odds?

the first cut may not always be the deepest ~ but it's the bloodiest

take a load off your fannie, Annie ~ but don't put your weight down on me

stumbled over a chair and broke my leg ~ while dancing with my eyes closed

put another dime in the jukebox, baby ~ or the music won't play

keep knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door ~ most of us will not call it home...

We shelled out
the pieces of our hearts;
scattered on the floor,
sharp bits of doubt
and war-
Slice your wrists with them all,
the fragments of my love and tears..
the sorrows you couldn't persevere
sprung red leaves from the wrists,
the bloodiest autumn-
Night brings polar pains
that run down my spine 
and through my veins
as I hear his footsteps run up the walls
every stone cold midnight
thoughts of bane madness until dawn....

SENTRY

Be ever on duty, it is surely best
Never sleep, or even try to rest
Or risk losing some precious zest
No need to puff out your chest
So proud of the regiment’s crest
Yet by its history, not obsessed
But hope it might not be the test
Whether mere monitor or guest
Only if one is correctly dressed
Wishing visitors to be impressed
But on cold nights, the loneliest
We do simple jobs, I do not jest
Yet definitely not the bloodiest
Our desire to be the friendliest...
