Standing on the precipice
Eyes closed, mind spent,
Violence paid forward..
Remembrance
Devours the atrocities
Of the battles gone..
Heart black as coal,
Blood stained soul..
Temperance lost..
A war, at what cost..
Nothing gained ..
World remains the same..
Did we live the dream..?
Eyes open, mind spent..
Sorrow bled behind ..
What was the crime?..
Kneeling on the precipice..
Branded for all time….
