War

War is the colour of darkness, an unseen future,
Future of hopelessness, future of death.
It tastes nothing more than a dry mouth desperate for water.
It smells of burning, gunpowder and fresh blood.
It looks like Hell itself, They look to fight for life.
The feeling is indescribable, pain, fear adrenaline even the feeling of nothing.
And,
It sounds like the end, screams, firing guns, bombs, anger, ringing ears and your heart beating so fast
It feels as if its going to explode
This is war. War is lifeless.
