The sky at night

The sky at night

Trenches, blazing alight with fire,
shooting stars flying higher.
Hitting hard on the ground,
battering all the mud and blood.

Soldiers running round and round;
swinging bullets over the top,
shouts and screams pass by.
People drop on the top.

Clouds of green; shadow tonight.
Over them, killing them dead.

Just another busy night.

And in the morning things are still,
in the silent dull sky.
