Shocking Red:

    1, 2, 3

    I shiver


    3, 4, 5

  Will I make it out alive

          6, 7, 8

War makes all men great,

           9, 10, 11, 12,

Will I ever make it back again,

           13, 14, 15,

Pull the trigger and don’t be late,

          16, 17, 18

I must accept my fate,

         19, 20

   All I see is red.


The author's comments:

This poem is about war is glorified and men are called heroes for "serving their country."  Some willingly sign up for war even if they don't believe in the cause in order to gain recognition and a higher self esteem.  It shows the truw horrors of war in a cleaer light.
