The Box, by Mongoose23

On and on,
Eternal war,
Hate and death.
A trailer arrives,
A trailer with a mountain of gold.

One by one, a box was received.
One by one, a box was given.
A box of joy,
A box of hope,
A box of pure good.

Opening the box,
Bang!
Glory, encouragement, happiness
Spew, fizz and bubble out.
The trenches and battles are lit by this little box.

This little box,
This little box of light.
