Warrior Down
Just rebooted to get back into combat, roasting to a ripper race,
something’s tripped me up, now am down smackface, oblivious to war
The cold dryness of disappointment licks out from an abyss;
sticks to my heels, my palm tips; freezes my lips… locks my jaw
If I get up now, I’m sure to swoon. Flies mate and farm my flesh
Ashamed to call for nurse, with bandages afresh I mask this news
Wounds that were starting to heal now ooze septic stuff
My power seeps out sparks that flicker to a snuff, its a blacked out fuse
Thaw me with a song; eliminate my crippling fear
See me comrades, lift me up! I’m here—inside this ditch
Fill me in with paraffin to glow away the anemic snow
Sterilise my heart with beer. Let’s show this foe who’s bitch!

I feel you've captured the raw harshness of battle very well in this piece Al.
I wouldn'tbe surprised if you've had some personal experience.
