War. What is war?
Hearing the gunshots rattling in their heads.
Their heartbeats racing like wild fire.
The once peaceful land being drowned in explosives.
The grief and hate spread in their hearts.
That’s war.
Silence throughout the land of Gallipoli.
Fear has disappeared like the wind.
The warmth as the sun shines on your face.
Our minds at ease as the trumpet plays.
