The forgotten... by ~snoopylou:iconsnoopylou:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open




We crouch,
The deathly calm
A sign of things to come.
The brown mud glistens and sinful red,
The blood leaks, one man down.
We consider.

As we wait,
The sudden blast echoes,
Our short lives momentarily end.
The grass once emerald is now crimson,
Sunkissed and watered with blood.
We acknowledge.

And we walk,
Our legs heavy with regret,
Slow our last dance.
The ground has gone, unseen,
Bodies line our path.
We wonder.

Then we fall,
The blood weeps from our wounds,
The shells control our destiny.
Our vision is blurred,
Yet our minds clearly see.
We dream.

Now we lie,
Among a forest of bleeding poppies,
Our innocent graves speak,
Of injustice, hope, fear and dreams.
We watch from safety.
Our souls scream.

As you stand,
The trumpet plays a song of the past,
You will remember us.
A procession of soldiers salute,
Lost in the forgotten.
And we forgive.
