No Place To Hide
Poetry by Lachlan Irvine

NO PLACE TO HIDE


Silent and still, the night surrounds

The weary warrior's bed,

While the tumult of the killing grounds

Rages inside his head.


Though long ago and far away,

War spreads its fingers wide;

He feels its fiery touch each day,

Sleep gives no place to hide.
