‘This Place’- By Callum J. Jones

This is a place I would rather not be.

It is a muddy place, terribly cold.

Dense fog restricts everything that I see.

–

I am imprisoned, under lock and key.

Following orders, doing as I’m told.

This is a place I would rather not be.

–

Death always comes painfully, cold as ice,

Those poor fledging souls, to God they are sold.

Dense fog restricts everything that I see.

–

Vicious, brutal pain is all I can see,

But my comrades are courageous and bold.

This is a place I would rather not be.

–

I admit: I want to get up and flee,

But I have to focus on being brave,

This is a place I would rather not be.

Dense fog restricts everything that I see.
