Share The Same Scars
share the same scars
the same –
battlelines
even if you did not serve –
in the same battalion
share,
the same experience
sense of humour
sense of indifference
share the same scars
having fought –
similar enemies
the breadth of life
the depth –
of our fights
share the same scars
felt the same pain
had such similar wounds
James Garratt – Friday 17th October 2014
