A Tribute to the Forgotten

The ground is stained as a reminder

Of the battle that took place here

Rain has washed away the memories

But not drowned away the fear

 

Guns were fired, lives were lost

Hearts were broken on this land

No life dares ever grow here

As token to those who still stand

 

The moon never shines it light

On this dreary barren ground

The skies are always cloudy grey

To keep the sadness hanging around

 

The graves are built to weather the storm

But lonely, no flowers make their beds

With nobody to remember this

There’s no one here to rest their heads
