Poetry from within
   

”Arnhem-Beret Red.”


In the stillness of the morning,

The acrid gunfire smoke still hangs.

No more crying of the wounded,

No more the screaming shells and bangs



Just the smell of death and carnage

And twisted bodies of the dead

In a field somewhere in Arnhem

Covered now in Airborne Red



No more the sounds of aeroplanes

No more parachutes now in sight

Just the toll of death and carnage

Of this a savage bloody fight



In a field somewhere in Arnhem

The twisted bodies of the dead

In a field somewhere in Arnhem

Covered now in Beret Red.
