Along the many battle lines, lie bodies scattered so
For war had raged, taking men, and boys that had to go
As officers and leaders stayed behind, to make for them a choice
The men who loyally followed them, all screamed with bloody voice
“Through the mud, dodging the fire, explosions now surround
We fight for you oh country, through loyalty we’re bound
We’ll never pull any punches; we’ll fight with all our might
Rest assured, for you, dear country, we will die or live to fight”
But, to the very many, that suffer injury and pain
Those that come back to us, some will never walk again
The loyalty they demonstrated, through battle on the field
Is the very type of loyalty we Americans should wield
Too many of our fighting men, suffer gravely, suffering loss
They truly are our heroes, they’ve paid their vital cost
So we shouldn’t turn upon them or away from them this day
We owe them more, so very much and we should now repay
This is very well written and can't help but touch the heart, particularly in war-time. Sadly, this poem is appropriate past, present, and, likely, future ... meaningful write, well done ~ Elizabeth

You are so right. We treat our veterans rather shabbily to say the least. Your poem touched me, as I have loved ones that are or were veterans, and sometimes you just ponder why does war happen and do this. Tragic.

This is a great tribute to those who fight in wars, and those who gave their lives in the battlefield out of loyalty. Great poem, great tribute!
