3 o’clock Monday A memorial is being held Soldiers left Fighting Without cause Cry each night, sandy tears Friends who laughed Have Fallen Lost among broken bodies Cradled in wounded arms Anonymously shipped to family homes By airmail They say this is justice The American dream Boys too young to drink Drunkenly fall into enemies’ truth Understanding reality with each last breath A memorial is being held Quietly Those who have been home Scared to dream of nightmares Fit nicely into wheelchairs Excepting prosthetic extensions Of whom they used to be Fighting For Democracy When no one really wants it Standing tall Right hand to heart Saluting The fate of death While boys become martyrs From lies It’s Monday A memorial is being held |
