I decided to write a poem and post it on here as well. But first a little background info. On July 1st 1916 British troups started an offensive now known as the 1st Battle of the Somme. By days end nearly 60,000 British troups would be killed or wounded. The highest single day casualty rate in history that has never been broken. Many of the dead would be never identified and listed as "Known only unto God". My Great Grandfather was among the first troops to go over the trenches that morning and became severly wounded but survived the war. Last Saturday was the 90th anniversary of that battle. So here is my poem in honour of those brave men. Hope ya like it.

Darkness covers the quiet Somme
on war torn July morn
cowering in the mud below
knowing soon is time to go

the roar of howitzers scorn
breaks the silent morn
whistling shells overhead
our nations sons lying dead

soon runnin through no mans land
we will take our last stand
in the crosshairs of sniper fire
buried mines my funeral pyre

lying in the cratered battlefield
nothing but silence now
body's laying everywhere
smell of burnt flesh fills the air

only pain I feel now
as my blood stains the ground
I whisper goodbye to an only son
death's relief brings the end....
