"None with a pure heart ever dies in vain / Leaving our dreams behind us as we go"

War Sonnet

Blessed are the dead who feel no more pain
We were trusting and easily misled
Lied to we went chasing falsified goals
Along with thousands and daily more dead
By little antichrists who sold their souls
A long time ago but how could we know
Our leaders had been leading us astray?

We never would have enabled their lies
If we had known then what we know today
But now as you read this one of us dies

None with a pure heart ever dies in vain
Leaving our dreams behind us as we go
Now we will never be misled again
Blessed are the dead who feel no more pain

Will we walk this way again, perhaps as we walked this way before, as the age-old battles rage and new flags are raised forever. As you so aptly said "Blessed are the dead...." Semper Fi to you my friend, and Merry Christmas!

Starkly real, my friend. There's plenty here in your verses for reflection. Besti wishes and blessings to you, Stevie,

Very sobering prose.
