Mortally Wounded - At War

You feel the bullet enter your throat

Drop to the ground on your blood start to choke

Gasping for air feel the pain from within

Sense what real fear is life slowly dims

Eyes turning skyward heaped on the ground

Life’s early scenes start to go down

Tension it builds up as death you await

Misery’s end in this you elate

Delirium trauma now it sets in

Now knowing your fate your thoughts make you grin

Blood loss accumulates drains from your head

The realization you know you are dead
