\"Fear nothing but Fear itself.\"


War is like a syringe
The needle injecting your body
With fluid.
Those fluids are supposed to help,
But this syringe
Is filled with poison.
Poison that feels like a bullet
In the a**.

War is like a syringe.
The needle arriving at the was zone
Your eyes are watching.
The poisonous bullet punchering you,your friends, your faith
You can feel this bullet swimming.
Swimming inside your veins.
Killing you inside, killing
Everything you have loved, hoped,
Wished, dreamed.
Killing your fellow soldiers.

War is like a syringe.
The poison swimming inside you.
Eating you from the
Inside out.
Making you wish you were
Dreaming.

News flash.
This isn't a dream
Filled with happiness and joy
NO!
This Is Hell.
Hell that breaks you down
Makes you go crazy.

War
Syringe
Poison
Bullet
Murder
Hell.

War IS a syringe.
The needle injecting your body
With fluids.
Fluids that supposed to help,
But this syringe
Is filled with poison.
Poison that is like a bullet
In the a**.

War Is Hell
