War Is Hell

• Thomas Abbott, Grade 10

War is as black as a moonless night
It Tastes like dust and mud
It sounds like gunfire then sudden silence
It feels like you're burning as the bacteria eats your skin
It smells like burning skin and flesh
It looks like an abandoned grave with holes and bodies
War is Hell, it spreads sadness and hopelessness like an infection.
