If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

36 poems·Since October 2017

Most of my stuff is inspired by some of the very somber anti-war poems written after WW1. Others can be on a whim or based off fictional works.

Difference

November 7, 2017

A trench raid

Germans rushing French

Fighting in the mud

Like rabid animals

Desperate and ruthless

Full of emotion

A French soldier stabs a German

A vengeful comrade clubs him

Their bodies fall on top of each other

The same scene repeats with the nationalities reversed

But two weeks later

A German soldier stabs a Frenchmen

A vengeful comrade clubs him

Their bodies fall on top of each other

And as blood soaks into the ground

The only difference between these men

Is the now stained color of their coat
