Grieving Contrast

Her teapot hot and her window open
Looking far away at the rising sun
Soon she’ll be working at the factory
Carrying ammo and shells much heavy


Her husband was belonging to them
She let him be a part of this system
How proud she was whe his letter arrived
« He’ll surely be great and highly honoured »


But his destiny is much less pleasant
For he lives among rats and awful scents
His days and nights troubled by fiery bombs


On a grey Saturday on the frontline
When he peeked to check for the enemy
He got shot and still lies under the rain


Louis & Martin
