Poetry
Sacrifice
Flag strewn out, weighed down in rain.
Solace dues among such pain.
Life he had given, soldier lay asleep,
A mother not his, would not have to weep.
The wind whistled soundly upon sandy dunes,
Their hearts were illumines as that of the moons.
Felicity among the hearts was quickly withdrawn,
Blood was shed from another, red as suns glow at dawn.
A vehicle brandished from fireworks wake,
Gave hope, gave cover for all of our sake.
Metallic raindrops littered where we rest.
Training so hardened now put to the test.
Enemy defeated, we had one loss
His body, lie limp upon moonlight gloss.
A time to think of that soldier they see,
He’d taken a bullet, no price, for free.
Teardrops dripped quietly, mixing with the showers.
The soldier was at rest, grave covered with flowers.
Attention, solute to such a brave soul lost.
Detached from present life, yet he paid the cost.
