WWI Poem By Paavo

You hear the blast of the shell

Your friends being shot down next to you

Your heart starts beating faster and faster

“KEEP MARCHING BOYS…WE WON’T WIN THE WAR IF YOUR STAND STILL”

You look behind you as your friend body’s lay there, dead and mindless

You wish you could be dead next to them with all the sin washed away in a blink of an eye.

You hear a gunshot your arm starts to bleed

You drop your gun

Your vision grows faint

You drop to the ground dead- dead

With your sin washed away in a blink of an eye

All is good now

God awaits you
