Wee Lads
A Poem
Feb 15, 2022
*Trigger Warning: Themes of War
Wee lads, no more,
Playing soldiers,
Toting guns,
Scraping to live
A day at a time.
Wee lads, we were,
Uniformed, shipped,
To village band tunes
Playing us out into
Hell on this earth.
Striving for a tombstone that reads more than “Here lies a nice guy”.
