War Is

It sounds like war shooting guns and firing at each other
It feels like the gun is going to come out of my hand as I am fighting for my life
It looks like this war is never going to end
It tastes like I am never going to eat again - It just tastes like saliva
It smells like dead bodies everywhere and dead air and smells of old bullet shells and old burning fires.
