Of Battles Lost and Won

Heavy armoured tanks

On the marshy banks

Roller chains on wheels

Long barreled gun

Mocking the hot sun

Helmeted and booted

Within closet of war

Aim and fire at men

Hapless and puny

Under the same sun

All pray for victory

Hope for victory

In a lost battle

Smouldering ashes cry

Cradling the cold kettle

You are too too kind Respected Madam Allets

Kind hearted Allets

Swallowed the pellets

Raw war I see around

Hard to keep my ground Laughing
