We stand in this great line
To east and west it streches
Defending the doors
protecting a cause
God is our ally
Upholding our laws

No way through our parade
The strength apparent
In all I have here surveyed
They will stand till they fall
Giving their all
For the cause and gods praise

How brave the suns of Adam
How lovely the daughters of Eve
Awaiting the enemies raid
How terrible the enemies
How great their joy
Killing Gods children in each evil raid

Tall we stand
behind a great line
Naught passes here alive
The children fight
And children fall
Before this terrible drive

The end is approaching
All men as one
We'll break them asunder
Then return to the sun
When the death is over
Then the peace will come

How Brave are we standing
Toes upon the line
How large the fear we fight
As they send us over
This inpenetrable line
Where in a decades time only poppies reside
  


 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

The inevitable war, kind of scary huh?  What a trial it will be.  I hope it's not in our lifetimes.  This was written by a soldier in the battle Walter, it was heroic and inspiring.  Bravo  

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.
