Favorite Quote:
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life. <br /> Charles Darwin


Just chance who dies
Side by side they went out
Unknowing of who would survive
Leaving in their hundreds
Almost suicide

Men crying, screaming
Begging God for mercy
But He just walks by
Ignorant of those in pain
They just want to die

Others at home
Unaware
Of what the courageous are facing
Of what it's like to watch
A friend die in such a way

As they wait in the trenches
For the bombs to stop
Waiting for the peace that shall not come
As they go out
Side by side, to die

For nothing it may be
But they are our heroes


The author's comments:
After I read Private Peaceful, I was crying and so full of emotions and I had to get them out so I wrote this poem. Please make lots of comments because I really want to know what I could do to make it better.
