Eyes That Can't See

Eyes That Can’t See
By: Brittney Hammond

I am a solider; I am about five foot 6
I have just been blinded by the
horrible Mustard Gas
that the Nazis let out.

What’s next only God knows.

I am only blind because of the Nazis
They are trying to bring us down.
Some of us are letting them
others fight their hearts out.

God please help the ones that are weak.

Right before the attack I saw my
Best friend get shot and killed.
I never saw what was next
only a few of us can still see.

God please take me home.

I feel the burns still from the gas
I need help.
I think I am bleeding, but from where
I can’t see, please help me.

God where are you?

Am I awake?
Or am I dreaming I can’t tell
Please tell me.
I need help.

God I hear someone, is it you?

I can’t see all I can do is hear.
I hear you, but who are you?
The doctor is going to help me.
I am now at peace.

God I am with you now.

I didn’t make it.
The Mustard Gas killed me
These evil Nazis did this to me
But I don’t need to worry.

Because they have their day coming
Their family will lose them
Just like my family lost me
I an now at peace and
I don’t need to worry now!
