War

War is a colour so dark that no evil can describe
It smells of the fallen comrades who was once standing beside you
It tastes like smoke from the boats that were blown up
It sounds like the screams of innocent soldiers who never wanted to be here
It feels like you are on the edge of death
It looks like you have just entered Hell and you're never going to make it back to the surface
War is something no man can describe.
