Take the Breath of Peace!, by J. W. Cassandra: this is my today poem. I was writing it to my mobile, lying on my bed for I’m ill now. But this is my voice: my voice against war, in behalf of peace.

Ez a mai legújabb versem. Fekve írtam az ágyon a mobilomba, mert beteg vagyok. De ez az én hangom: a hangom a háború ellen, a békéért.

This is one of the finest poems written by Wilfred Owen, in the backdrop of WWI.
In this poem, he talks about how the soldiers sentiently keep waiting for the possible exposure to death, in the poorest of weather conditions. Always ready to die, their brains ache. ‘But nothing happens’.
