Warring Neon Sky

Gotta love handy dandy drop down menus :)

I decided to post one of the poems in honor of Remberance Day. This poem was inspired by an article I read about how certain bombs during a battle late at night, will light up the sky and make it look neon.

Warring Neon Sky

I can see the faces before me.
In the neon sky.
O mother please leave me be,
In the neon sky.

Captain I never asked why,
Just lay me down to die.

Don't save me just want to see,
In the neon sky,
All the beauty I should be,
In that neon sky.

Captain I never asked why,
Just lay me down to die.
