The war goes on
They march in step
The loyal and true
Fodder of cannons

Future History
In living colour
these are the memories
the mourned

They are unaware
Of their bravery
How they die for us
Of sacrifice

Are they proud
In golden band
And silver medals
On their chests

Are they proud
Dieing alone
far from home
all on their own

History
dulling the pain
remember not agony
only sacrifice

How may we learn
If all we see is gold
can we remember
when all we get is heroes


------------------
Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

A hero on every corner, but someone inevitably suffers in the calling of every hero...is it worth the price, truly?
