Hundred Days, the Final Chapter

valley view gazes, reflect opposing hill
two armies and a lush green field, ready and still

awaiting for orders even though outmatched

lined along the hillside all ready to be dispatched

rows of red coats as far as the eye could see

struck a moment in time where I wish I could flee

until he road with valiant strides to the battle front

boasting an air of charisma for an enemy he will confront 


with a grin on his face and death in his eyes, he raised his gun up high 
the signal had been given as a thousand lead balls flew by
and as the battle raged on and down to the valley floor  
Wellington's men were ready and hungry to settle the score

 

with the smell of gun powder wisping into the air

we checked our clothes and our limbs to see if it was still there

then the calvery swept in with thier steele blades free

cutting down our brothers and adding to the debris 

 

both sides seemed strong as cannon shots rained in the sky
when the sounds of thunder seemed to roar nearby

from dawn to dusk we had been pushing long and hard
to suddenly see the sight of the Prussians bombard


we had been outflanked, discourage filled our hearts 
for we had been campaigning and adding land to our charts
to now see it crumble, Napoleon's final debut
for he was defeated here in 1815 at the battle of waterloo
