Brother in arms we come to this site In brave challenge to decide the right Where once we stood by and by Must now we stare eye to eye Come dear brother, to me bring your fight Brother in arms we have but one choice To draw our swords and silence the voice That cries to our hearts for peace Not this war that we release Come dear brother, the drummers rejoice Brother in arms we share the same blood Much of it spilt to make valleys flood Would, that we could staunch its flow But now we must let it go Come dear brother, let us make the mud Brother in arms, we shall share this day As enemies we came to the fray But when the mud has all dried And the cries of peace preside Come dear brother, echo yesterday |

War is such a waste. Sometimes I know they are necessary but usually they are not. Too many innocent people die. Great poem, Andrew! Denise |

Yes indeed Denise, I couldn't agree more. War is such a sad happening. Good to see you post outside the 'Stute Sir. I enjoyed this much. Very much ! |

"But when the mud has all dried And the cries of peace preside Come dear brother, echo yesterday" You've written reality right into this piece. Very well done. ~ Claire |
