D Day
Amongst us walk the ghosts of our past
Silent screams that shout and hollow
"we died for you"
I look around and bow my head in shame
For I have let their giving be worthless
I have failed
They lost
So that we may have a future
A better place so that us siblings
Can live
Love
Grasp for life
Fade less hate
See the saying D Day is still used today
Yet how many think back to the lives lost
Our loss
Our granddad's
Our family
Their lives
My failure is mirrored in the failure of the world
Religion after religion
Gun against gun
Life fighting life
One day I hope words will be the healer
Language our fighters
And soldiers our builders
One day
Will
We
Have a better world
One day!!
