The Terrible War

Walking through sludge
Feeling like death
My eyes filled with tears
I didn't want to be here

My best mate was trapped in no mans land
Crying for help
I wanted to save him
I loved him a lot
But not enough to get shot

I was in the trenches
Shells pelting down
Gun shots overhead
I wanted to be in the safety of my bed
But here I was
In a living nightmare
This wasn't fair
No-one should go through this
War is vile
