Trigger happy,
Isn't happy.
He's scared.
Heart rotting,
Stomach thumping,
Sweat soaked and scared.
Bang bang bang
Goes the gun
Click, click, click
Rolls the barrel.
All blood, guts, dust and bluster.
In a strange terrain fighting another man's war.
Night terrors, day horrors.
Catastrophe the nom de plume of wartime gloom.
Then it's home for tea and crumpets.
Sugar from a silver spoon.
Wondering what happened to the boom and zoom.
