The blood will dry, the memories will fade.

As our history, our lives continue to age.

The photos will yellow, the children will forget.

‘Til war comes to get, the ones they never met.

Though we commemorate those we have lost,

It seems the world has forgotten war’s deadly plot.

It invites, it advertises to those who slave.

It forgets, it dismisses the walk to the grave.

The noise, the silence, the endless pain.

The glory, the adventure, the endless gain!

So they go on their march of ignorance and pride.

They watch the trample of all in their stride.

For who else would go for the ride?

but the children who took glory’s side.
