"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
