A Soldier's Thoughts

I'm watching and waiting
Anticipating
Looking out at the frontline
The enemy is approaching the battle line
With bayonet out at the ready
Trying to keep my breath real steady
Then I heard a loud battle yell
After that I entered hell
For all I know there's no coming back
Then I stabbed an enemy in the back
Trying to get back on the path
I am forced to walk through the blood bath
Then I hear enemy ahead
I swung up my Thompson and now their dead
Then I trot up a steep hill
To try and spot my next fresh kill
I see none alive ahead
So back down the hill I tread
The battles over and their flags are ours
I look up that night and see the stars
The next morning we burn their flags
Then we go out and collect allied tags
