Death gripped us like an intense dream
The dangerous snake engulfed us in a tight grip
Too slow to get to safety
We struggle for air
That tormented snake making it so much harder
Some of us manage to catch a breath
Some aren’t so lucky
That never ending nightmare

This fight isn’t fair
No one deserves to die like this
Drowning in the wrath of this deadly snake
I reach for help
No one is there only six cold bodies
They lay on the emotionless floor
Like animals in a slaughter house
The snake had won

Through these muddy walls
This green snake slithers
Room after room
Left and right
Up and down
Killing any helpless soul in its path
Like prey in a lion’s den
The soldiers know there is no hope
They will die here
Not with a loving family and friends
But as a victim to this deadly snake called gas.
