Colours of war

Red
All I see is red
 
Sparkling
Screaming
 
People crying out in pain
The air is full of regret
You can see it in their eyes
 
White
All I see is white
The memories
The laughter
All gone
Pushed out
By the fear
The fear of that warm happy place being lost forever
 
Brown
All I see is brown
The soldiers are covered in it
Suffocated
Disorientated
Not knowing the way back or forward
 
Black
All I see is black
Everything’s dried up, rotted
Covered over in dirt and dread
 
Grey
All I see
Touch
Hear
Smell
Is grey
The marching
It never stills
It’s the noise of running for cover
Running from the crashes and bangs that will never leave their minds
 
They’ll never know what’s coming
They’ll never know what’s going
 
Can they
Will they ever escape the colours of war
