Wilfred Owen (poet) on the horrors of world war one

O Jesus Christ! I’m hit,’ he said; and died. 
Whether he vainly cursed or prayed indeed,
                 The Bullets chirped—In vain, vain, vain! 
                 Machine-guns chuckled—Tut-tut! Tut-tut! 
                 And the Big Gun guffawed.

Another sighed,—‘O Mother,—mother,—Dad!’
Then smiled at nothing, childlike, being dead. 
                 And the lofty Shrapnel-cloud 
                 Leisurely gestured,—Fool!             
                 And the splinters spat, and tittered.

‘My Love!’ one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood, 
Till slowly lowered, his whole face kissed the mud. 
                 And the Bayonets’ long teeth grinned;
                 Rabbles of Shells hooted and groaned;
                 And the Gas hissed.

The Last Laugh - tuttut tuttut - Wilfred Owen

Learning guitar, seeing what works. Enter here for wrong notes and out of key sounds. Most of the things I’m posting are just snippets of sessions where I am just noodling around and seeing what works and what doesn’t.  It is never perfect, but it is always progress!
