Bang! Bang!, there goes another and another and another, drowning in the treacherous gas disintegrating their lungs but its normal,

Love letters, shell shock,lice, trench foot we all get it, we need to fight it, we can’t die as cowards, we need to die as heroes or not die at all,this is all normal,

I can’t hear or see, i’m scared, I Can’t bear it anymore, but i’m not a coward,i can do this if i die it’s normal.

I can feel it in my bones, that my mother is crying as i’m here slowly dying and say to him, “tell my mother i done my best and lay my medals on my chest,tell our freddie he can have my room, all i ask, please don’t cry

I died as a hero and will stay a hero remember me it’s normal!
