Memorial Day

 To the dead ones, 

Celebrated in medals and camouflage,

Battle fatigue, and gun wound shots.

Home sickness with war packs on

Helmut damaged 

Dented in miles un-marched

In explosive war torn battle zones

Countries trying to overthrow..

The will, the law,

the mind, the peace,

What some sons and daughters may never know.

This goes across the globe

To those that are dead that we've barely known. 

Do not halt your honor

At the shores of our slaughter

For peace claims the hearts, desire,

And feats of those that marched.

Here's to those, that paid a price

For the selfish and the hungry, from the higher life.

Cheer's to the warrior of the bottom dwellers 

Who sanction sovereignty

In bombed out shelters.

From the cold, the rain, the heat that swelters.

To the skeletons with honors

Who lack the worlds possessions. 

To those that served, their country and friends.

To the soldiers who won't see their final medal pinned.

For those that fought down to their last heart beat,

May they rest in peace in their eternal Army.
