We could never comprehend
The war’s travesties
And yet we take a hand
In the war’s rivalry
Bleeding men, our men
Hands and knees
Family men, broken ken
Doubled over their dignities
Spilled consciousness oozes onto the field
Amateurs trip and stumble, bladders tense
The bombs of demigods forming annihilation shields
Momentum rising, pushing forward, forever dense
Will I ever see what those blue eyes saw?
Crumpled man, a destroyed soul
Thrust into the jingoistic maw
A pierced home-land, a forgotten goal
The love of a thousand man
Unto the snow bleeds
The land frosty, wan
Insatiable greed
Noble footmen to dust
Thanatopsis in motion
The land’s haunting bloodlust
Mother nature’s devotion
