The guns prepared for battle
Their munitions very near
Crews stand ready for action
Awaiting the firing order
Afar, unseen is a distant enemy
Faceless, made unpersonified
Their pain and cries unheard
Distance conceals their misery
Shelling, rocketing, bombing
Travesties incomprehensible
Horror unrecognized, shocked
The realization of what is war
Consummate devastation
With no regard for innocence
Living amongst all the guilt
Flesh rendered, fragmented
Remains unviewable
Vulnerability of all men
Dropped rounds, guns report
Drown their pleas to God
A conflict that goes ever on
Spanning a lifetime, lost
Only soothed by eternal silence
Within the grave of a veteran

333 (Three hundred, thirty-three) is the command given prior to firing artillery and field pieces. It is the ultimate good number for the best of luck for those doing the firing. A numerology thing much like 666 is all bad and evil things.
