This is a poem about the brave soldiers who fought in the first world war. I have always admired them, since I work caring for people who lived through it. I hope that the people reading it can appreciate what these Heroes went through for England. God bless them all.
Mercy, mercy cried the soldier
On the front line of the war
Mercy, mercy please dont shoot me
Make a widow – I implore
I have children waiting for me
Helplessly, with hope in heart
Dont deny them of a father
Dont make me this world depart.
Knowing that you too are fearfull
and like me are skin and bone
Knowing that you too have family
And like me, you yearn for home
Knowing that you loathe this futile
senseless battle – not decreed
Yet understanding honour
and the myth that I am enemy
Only those that stood in line
Can empathise the misery
Only those souls sacrificed mortalities
set England free.
