The Faint Hearted

The gathered people
The wild whistle
The charging men
The falling dead
The roaring guns
The scattered bodies
The helpless friends
The dripping tears
The desperate major
The avenging friends
The tense solider
The betrayed dead
The proud kills
The tricked men
The bleeding civilians
The bombed field
The crying family
The worrying wives
The rough trenches
The wet meals
The surprised sleep
The hidden box
The gloomy days
The desperate family
The new life.
