Fall Behind

There were times

While in a muddy hole,

I tried to think, why.

Here where no one gave a damn.

 

Alone, except for the noise,

That was incessant and deafening.

Has my hour come to face the Lord?

Random thoughts, amongst the shell bursts.

 

Soon the order will be given

And into hell's abyss I'll charge.

Fear racing beside me,

Poking me not to fall behind.

Yep, I imagine it'd get pretty lonely back there, never mind getting picked off.
