"Dead Soldiers"

Dead Soldiers












What a battle this was
Dead soldiers all around
Some of the soldiers went missing
Will they ever be found?

Maybe they’re in me somewhere
In a ditch or a path
Waiting to be found
By all creation, all nature, and all wrath.

So many soldiers
Dropped dead
Defending their country
Chest full of lead.

What about their families
At home cheering them on
How would they feel
If they knew a loved one was gone.

God bless,
All the soldiers that fought,
And I know this was a lesson
That the Confederate was taught

"The Tent"

The Tent









I see blood
All day everyday
Some soldiers die
But most are okay

I am witnessing an amputation
But it’s nothing to me
I see stuff like this everyday
Can you imagine what I see?

This soldier got shot in the leg
It has to get cut off
He’s lying there quiet
Not a sneeze or a cough

But Sawbones isn’t paying that attention
He’s trying to form an operation
They need to get it done
No sense in waiting

They’re almost done,
But his eyes roll to the back of his head
This is a very sad thing
The soldier is dead
