Over the Top



Over the Top



Here in the trenches

where blood and mud mix


we contemplate the 

battle just waged


and plot 

the next one

soon to be


There is perpetually

always more strategy


it is our destiny

to be planted

in these gray fields


no one in our hole

dare question why


for doubt leads

to hesitation


and to pause

is to die


resolve forged

in steel blind

determination



cause come the dawn

we will charge

back into the firestorm


to avenge the fallen

casualties


and their

ghostly memories


more and more

reinforcements

to exit into

statistic history


the cause is irrelevant

just a footnote now
 

this is personal


this is war
