-On The Ship-
As I scan the aisles of the deck, the picking overwhelms
Gathering for the long journey, to as store food in the helms
The men look dreary; this war has torn us apart
Looks of help cover the façade of the forlorn broken hearts
Is it the casualties, or life at sea that is to be the sole blame
Tires burning on the deck as we taxi for the toll planes
Commotion about, is it about to break in?
Soldiers gather themselves as the boys are about to become men
The speakers flare thru the cabins, the voice echo’s for all
Grabbing for ammunition as a soldier screams “Let go of it Paul!!!”
How is this happening, a calm day turning to grim
Scoping out my comrades as he sees’s me, and me inside him
But the food! It’s not packed, surely the captain will yell
Guns being dropped low as if rolling back a sale
We all run, as the aisles are full of men, the bounty overtakes
Exceeding our limits but never time to replace the mistakes
The death and destruction is taking its toll to far
Electing the asphalt into the sky, as if polling the tar
The battle is weakening; the goods are almost for plunder
Time stops as the minds imagination couldn’t wonder
After all the death turmoil, the aftermath was well the wait
Death deciding it’s victims as the living conquers their fate
I think of this life, it’s far too much to go on more
Snap back to reality as my daydreaming stops in the Grocery Store
“Aisles really are packed, Must now get back to my captain, Err I mean wife
Cause after that take on it, I could certainly handle ship life”
