Artist's Comments

We are the slaves of a war torn country.
That we must die for other men’s quarrels.
And it was our own country that killed us.

Out of the trenches, into No Man’s land.
Every man for himself, save your own soul.
We are the slaves of a war torn country.

Another slave lost, never to be found.
Who will look after his family now?
And it was our own country that killed us.

We watched as the bullets whipped by our ears.
Frightened, we ran for cover in panic.
We are the slaves of a war torn country.

If we return, we will be proud heroes.
Unless we survive, we will be forgotten.
And it was our own country that killed us.

Beneath smoke filled skies, we recall the war.
The last bullet fired, the last man downed.
We are the slaves of a war torn country.
And it was our own country that killed us.

very cool =D
it could be me and my vast idiocy, but i think that the childish mediums and design kind of makes an interesting effect when paired with such a serious topic like war.
also, that upside-down 'i' is very much win =]

did you write the poem, by any chance? it's very good :nod:

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

childish mediums + serious topic ? I've never thought of this piece like that before. I was just using my resources I guess. I'm glad you liked it : D And good job at distinguishing the 'i' from a '!' . People at my school wouldn't know the difference. Yep, I wrote the poem > <
