Forever Red

The silence, coming with the dawn.1

Men lying cold, their spirits gone.2

Last words frozen on their lips3

A gasp of air from bodies ripped4

In desperation to survive5

To stay, to love, to be alive.6

Glory and honor fade away7

Desperately trying to keep death at bay.8

9

Youth and innocence stolen in the night10

Unable to stay after the terrible sight11

Of friends dead and comrades dying12

Of families cries13

And mournful sighs14

Tear filled eyes15

And their friends on foreign fields lying.16

17

Salutes and orders, meaningless now18

A few hours before, sweat on the brow19

As fear clutched at the hearts of brave men20

Wondering whether they would see surise again.21

22

The rotting stench of bodies dead23

And the ground stained forever red.24

Poppies blowing25

Haunting cries26

To mark the ending of so many lives.27
