Run for your life. Find a hole.
Hide in it. Before death swallows you whole.
Point your rifle. Aim quickly. Shoot. Screams.
You hit your target, it seems.

Get up. Run again.
Barbed wires. Jump or ignore the pain.
Both options are dangerous. One might slow you down,
The other might make you no longer useful for the Crown.

Find another hole. Hide again. Cover, with your free hand, you ear.
Noise. Mud. Flashes. A pack of bombs just fell near.
You can't move. You are a bit stunned.
Yet you know that you must run. You are frightened.

You stand up. You try to move. You can't. You got shot in the chest.
You begin to die. You fall. At least you tried your best.
You try to keep your eyes open. You can't. You die.
The worst is, you didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.
July, 2013.
