A battlefield

06 Feb 2021

·James Gordon

On a battlefield blood lies congealed in pools of deepest red. I'll say a prayer for the eyes that stare for the tears they'll never shed. I see then the kin of the men who had gave away their lives. Their dads, their mums and their young sons and lonely widowed wives. They say one day while the children play and the world is not insane. No wars will rage on this Earthly stage and peace again will reign. With poppy's red we will mourn the dead salute the deeds they've done. With air now still no need to kill so put away your gun. In the autumn rain i will stand again while my eyes fill up with tears At a marble cross i will thank the ``Boss`` for the peaceful years. For the service men whoever they fought for.
