The front is a cage,
arching shells,
suspense of uncertainty.

Chance hovers

A dug-out,
blown to pieces.

Another dug-out,
buried.

Still alive

No solider, outlives a thousand Chances

Chance,
makes us indifferent.

I picked a random page from "Alls Quiet on the Western Front" picked some words and put them together to make this.
