BEFORE THE KAISER CAME
by Paul Curtis

Before the Kaiser came
Swallows fed on the wing
Above green meadows
Butterflies danced on the breeze
And birdsong filled the copses

Then the Kaiser came
And no longer did birds sing
Mud filled the meadows
Gunfire echoed on the breeze
And rats fed on the corpses


I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me.
