No one knows their names
these soldiers brave and strong
There were no parades for them
because they never marched home
.
These young men trained diligently
To protect our country
These young men were soldiers
Strong, brave as able as they could be
.
War is an abomination
against the sanity of men
Hate shines in the devil’s eyes
Weapons raised to fight again
.
Rolling hills filled with flowers
Gently swaying in the soft breeze
Now become a wasteland
Filled with torn and tattered dreams
.
Historical buildings blown up
Their beauty never again to be seen
This is the reality of war
The worst nightmare men have ever seen
.
Masterpieces from the museums
Stolen and secreted away
Greedy men will hide them
Until another day
.
Memorial to the unknowns
Stands at Arlington Cemetery
Four unknowns have been laid to rest
From the wars of yesterday
.
War, although sadly a fact of life throughout the centuries makes no sense except to those opperessed and the oppressors who refuse to listen to the voice of reason or the prayer of sanity...\fee

Your friend, Mark
against the sanity of men
Hate shines in the devil’s eyes
Weapons raised to fight again
It is so very sad that "man" seems to have learned nothing over all this time. Thank you, Kathi. Love and best wishes,
