Narrow Escape

How did we do it
Manage to emerge
Everything seemed against us .
Things could not have been worse .

Naked fear , Desperation
Hope in short supply .
The enemy had us in headlong flight
And they were not far behind ....

In the end , Sheer gutsĀ 
Married with luck .
Somehow , We did survive .
But at awful cost .

- All our heavy equipment , a lot of good men
And any hope of victory , Died .

Being Me

This is one of those poems that "stays" with the reader for a long long time. The horror that is war terrifies us all. Really well written, Chris x
