Leon Gellert, 'War!'

[duathir.livejournal.com]

War!

When my poor body died, —Alas!
I watched it topple down a hill
And sink beside a tuft of grass.
…….. I laughed like mad,
……. and laughing still
I bowed and thanked the bit of shell
That set me free and made me glad.
Then quietly,
I strolled to Hell.
