    The thunder grumbled like an old man.
    The blizzard swallowed the town.

    The snow tip-toed onto the car.
    The wind screamed through the trees.

    The snow slept soundly on the fields
    The rain jogged down the gentle river.

    The sunshine swam into the mourning meadow.
    The sliviery snow whispered sweet nothings in my ear.

    The rainbow cartwheeled across the sky.
    The wind whistled through the trees.

    They ready there selves for the bloodiest and most horrible ending
    Fear was the only thing on their face
    The tummy grumbling sounding enemy plane inches closer by the second
    FIRE!!
    The End is near.

    Death is near us.
    We ready ourselves for life or death
    As I run out of the trench gritting my teeth
    I can smell the gun powder running up my nose
    As I run across the battle field ouch I stubbed my toe.

    Skies weep bombs,
    Planes howl,
    Sirens screaming,
    Innocence is strangeled

    Guns

    Bullet bolts out though the gun
    Kills and injures a lot of people
    Make people feel in shock and in pain
    Observing the enemy then they pounce

    The corpses of soldiers sleep forever on the battlefield
    They gaze at the battle unfolding before their eyes
    The tanks roar past
    Crunching and stomping on everything in their path
    The bombs jump out of the planes overhead and kamikaze into the tanks
    The bullets hurl themselves past
    Then the battle is over.

    The gun sharply cracked the whip.
    It then popped some popcorn ready to fire.
    The enemy went down a steep hill
    The enemy was nowhere to be seen.
