|
red memories of ypres,so long ago |
|
fiery troops left as smoldering embers |
|
broken dreams,shattered like glass |
|
the edges still sharp,to slash and dismember |
|
wasted lives? or noble ends?-innocent victims,lay staring in wonder.. |
|
troubled minds go over the edge,fall to the ground, and are torn asunder.... |
|
battle weary patriots,in blood stained uniforms... |
|
trading death with the enemy,in the volleying cannon storms... |
|
noble lives, with wasted ends-fates are controlled by impersonal friends.. |
|
fragile lives,hang on delicate threads... |
|
woven through hell-and cut short. |
|
charging towards,the battlefront,..attacking underfire |
|
injured soldiers in the aftermath,waiting in pain,to die! |
