katie - Night patrol

night patrol, the lonliest part of a soldiers duties <br />walking whever they are led <br />half a mile apart from one another <br />a thousand thoughts through ones head <br />the man in front fades into the darkness <br />being lost each one does dread <br />for being alone out here is cetain death <br />your mind goes to the family at home <br />what big event are they witnessing <br />the chain of thought broken by the crackle of gun fire <br />the distant enemy torments the soldiers from miles away <br />and back in his basha he sleeps with one eye open <br />and that one eye watches all that happens.<br /><br />katie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-patrol/
