NO MANS LAND

 

No man’s land,

A desolate place

An unforgiving place

Where stout hearts

Chill and falter

To glimpse at hell

 

Doom awaits us there

On that alien field

Where death falls like rain

In shrapnel shards

And bullets speak

Of whispered demise

 

No man’s land,

A desolate place

Where men drown

In mud, blood and tears

Blood shed for country

Tears shed for kin

WHEN KITCHENER CALLED

When they hear the recruiter’s call And they take the King’s shilling They’re trained and uniformed And marched towards the killing
