Poem 45 - Tribute to the Fallen

Tribute to the Fallen

So many valiant heroes lie

In tombs that bear no name.

And still more brave ones soon shall die

With none but grief and shame.

Upon those graves, no mortal eye

Has looked; no loved ones came.

For they were pawns that cannot fly;

They perished in the game.

But now I hope that peace they found

Among those silver stars...

I pray that they will hear the sound

That heals inflicted scars.

Long did they toil, and long were bound

By shackles, chains, and bars.

I wish that none disturbs their mounds...

An end be to these wars!
