That smell
Do you smell that rotting decaying flesh?
That is me.
Do you see me now?
As I lay dying
Pierced by bullets whizzing by
You stepped on me once
He stepped on me twice

I left my loving wife
I lost my living life
What's going to happen now?
How?
Boom
Bang
Pop pop

I see firetruck red then sudden black

I am now dead

Fallen in the trench with my gas mask at my side

Laying in the flower bed

I hope my wife can bide

I am now dead.

I had to write this poem for Global Studies, and I've never really liked poetry until now. Thanks for reading. I hope you liked it.
