War infuriated her,

but she wouldn’t say,

and the law made her stay,

this army medic

drew strength from sick-bay,

when young soldiers come to die,

she wanted to crawl in a hole and cry,

she felt like going out

and breaking someone’s leg

so she would have something

to occupy her time and mind,

she took some blame,

but felt all the shame,

but she couldn’t keep up with the countless dead,

and she could not get the images

of dead soldiers out of her head,

she rose from her chair,

and walked toward the door,

death she would fear

with unsteady legs,

then she fell to the floor.
