[bodytext] => Uniform tombstones,
Like teeth in the mouth Of death. Each one a silent testimony Of a young life lost. Even now, in regimental rows. Forever soldiers. Reminders of battles fought, And victories won. Live`s,bravely given in death, Exchanged for peace. But i feel no peace. Not here,amongst these Cold stones. It is a desolate place, Lonely,and devoid of life, But full of death. Soldiering on, I march through rows. Searching for his name, And final resting place. They told thier well rehearsed lie, He died bravely,in battle, He did his duty. The truth,he died in agony, Broken and bloodied, Felt abandonment and fear, And with his last breath, Cried Mother. One amongst many, A forgotten hero,in a parade Of stone regiments. Alost child,far from home, Who will never know I have found him, That he will not be going home. He will remain, Forever a soldier.
