_Crimson Snow_

A few jagged rocks
 Struggle to stay above The unrelenting mantle of snow It is 
there the soldier seeks Shelter from enemy bullets That whine past him. What am 
I doing, he thinks, In this moonscaped land Desperately trying to Cling to life 
even as I Search for a fellow human Whom I must kill To stay alive? His question
remained Unanswered even as A crimson stain spread On the snow around him. But the
other question remains, And there is no answer As to why cold white snow Should 
be coloured crimson.
