Regeneration
“Head boy head”
Said the old man in command
“Rush to the battle front
Preserve the dead at hand”
“I-I-I”
Responded the awestruck son
As he felt for his helmet
Manned the rifles, masks and guns
“Down boy down”
As the heavens cried acid tears
Of shells and blood stained memories
Of comrades and tainted fears
“A-a-a nightmare”
He tells his therapist
“And what of it ?”
“I D-D-Don’t recall” he mutters with clenched fists
“But I’ve a thought”
Confessed the patient
“ I abandoned my manhood
Amongst the rotting flesh.
To take home a golden star
That will forever haunt my speech “
And he bore an eternal scar
Until he was well enough to fight
