Away at War
The field is vast and the enemies are all around
The sergeant stands before us warning, “Hush! Don’t make a sound.”
I observe my surroundings watching carefully for danger
While my brothers in arms pray to God and thank the sweet baby born in a manger
Then the blasts start up as shrapnel sprays across the scene
The bell just rang …that was quite the dream
Last thing I remember, I was sitting in class
The teacher said “be quiet” and the room was silent at last
I took out my phone and watched the teacher turn her head before I sent my text
Then I heard someone say “thank God class is almost over”, as I laid my head on the desk
Man the bell just rang I better get going
One more class left today and I swear the clocks are slowing
