War's cry

Throughout the dark and dim
the screams of nature cry within
And within the cries, screams, and howles
liquid from thy hearts do clatter,
And mothers' tears seem to shatter
as well as brothers', sisters'
and fathers'
Yet I hope they don't cry for long
cause
I'm just lying down
not waking at all.
