Watch the enemy
See the foe
Intel on the wire.
Rebels sighted
Rifles drawn
"Ready, Aim, Fire!"

Bodies flying
"Fetch the stretcher."
The casualties increase.
Gunfire continues
Shots ring out
When will the death toll cease?

Night draws in
Few men remain
Will there ever be a winner?
Ceasefire agreed
Until tomorrow
I'm off to have my dinner.
