Peace of not many years  we
forgot those unheard.
Who gave their all?  in wars we fight one after another?
Goodbye, we think
we have said;   Thank you
we decide we have said, enough.
To ease our common conscience.
But, isn't it all too late?
When the cold is written on the paper about
the brains in pieces?
Killed  by deaf ears passing, ignoring
the screams, down
to the next
generation?
Going unanswered.
Often unmentioned.
We stand hand on heart on Memorial day.
We salute with abandon.
Thinking we give a tribute worthy of the sacrifice given.
Those who screamed into deaf ears
abandoned. Alone .
They gave their
all.
