[bodytext] => The dead of the war stand in gloom A scarlet tinge for the muted room People beaten by tools of war Stand together, forgotten in law Anxiety and anger purge my heart This beats to the soldier’s steady march Into battle we must go Our general shouted, we moaned and groaned My conscience took my by the hand Or cowardice I turned and ran Murdered by our former friends Comrades lives now loose ends A shell amiss, an ‘honourable death’ The recollection of quickened breaths The flicker book of Sundays passed A life that was meant to last Respect upmost those who fought Let them occupy your thoughts I’m not the mean and selfish kind These people will always fill my mind I loved my life, I treasured it Now memories come back in bits We marched in battle, four by four We are the dead of the war [comments] => 1 [counter] => 130 [topic] => 57 [informant] => thepoet353897 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )
