THAT’S WAR
We’re between the lines They fire, we fire, they fire, we fire again Suddenly someone shouts there’s a plane coming Get down but it’s too late Someone’s dead they shot him At first, you take no notice But then you look again and find Its your best mate who you Were talking too just minutes ago It’s getting dark and cold You start firing again And the cry goes up We’ve hit some of their tanks You shout hooray That’s two more down you say You sit there there’s not a sound any where You start to think It’s not been this quiet for ages when it all Starts up again That’s war for you This was written back in 1991 when another war was just starting. I was 16 and weeks away from leaving school this poem was part of my English course work. |
