Reality of life in the war
Life in the war was not a joke.
Jessie Pope gave you so much hope
They said it was a very good joke
But it was all a play and you were the pray
In the trenches there were no benches sleeping on the
floor was your only intention
War would never cease
The air was full of tension
The true colours of war were shown
Red and black to the core
The poppies grew on the battlefield
Signified the blood that was lost
Trapped in a nightmare that was the truth of war
