Frozen Battlefield

Yonder I see a desolate battlefield,
The frozen bones of these warriors
In a distant past still fully concealed
Graves crossing the time barriers.

In ceaseless killings they found joy;
Not the heroes of our bedtime stories
Fooled in a battle by a frantic decoy,
Here they died , none sang glories.

None came for sights or pilgrimage
Even the looters left without plunder
Could still see the preserved cartridge
I wonder if there were more bodies under.

My mind struggles to forget this scene
Yonder, saw bodies sprouting gean.
