The Slow March

I once walked those white corridors
For a reason now forgotten
That the injured walked alone
Lost in my own indentity
Amongst those I feel pity
Because to most they seem a ghost
Forgotten it seems their plight
Sacrifice earned only an early flight
From a war tricked to fight
We are told for our countries need
Maybe before shame closes to an end
We will hear the dead recite "The Soldier´s Creed´
Along the cold lonely corridors of Walter Reed.

Marcel
