But in the midst of their nightmarish crossing of this region
Hope still shone through the darkness.
Rather casually he scooped up four new crustaceans
And threw them on the grill.
He carried his gun through moss covered trenches
and shot down any enemy that crossed his path.
An eerie arrangement of buffalo and human skulls placed around slender stakes
Surrounds the field where the heard grazes.
His face was caked with mud
And his hands were dripping with blood.
The number of people ha had killed were many
and his wife would not be happy.
Triumphantly discovering a new whippoorwill
He was able to take leave.
He set his eyes on the homeward horizon.
The day had come at last.

It was an exercise I did in a class, and that's how it came out. it doesn't have to match anyway.
