Cheers to the hero
clink clink go the glasses
vibrating a radiance
equal to that of the vocal cords
that ring out his name.
Cheers to the hero
click click goes the gun
that offered him solace
in the place the Holy book
calls home.
Cheers to the hero
Fallen to earth
in pain but in reverie
to be spoken of
and remembered for
that which was done
in sacrifice for the multitude.
