Memorial Day Poem

My teen son wrote this historical poem, as a school assignment:


 "Gunshots fire and cannonballs
fly higher, as they stampede
through the flesh and bones of
soldiers of the Revolution.

The Privates start running and the Corporals start shouting,
as the Generals try to counter
the advancing army in the Civil War.

The tanks open fire and the planes
roar at their flier; each dropping
pay loads of explosions on each others'
enemies in the war that was bound to end all wars.

The Supreme Leaders are on the
communicators, shouting orders
to the Colonels: "Start running before
the blood starts flowing" in the war
to end terror.

Down the war-torn path we fall
where madness reigns from wall to wall
Through the rhyming words we tumble
where villains toil and psyches crumble."


THIS Memorial Day-- at these words of a sixteen year old young man --
PLEASE pray for Peace, at last!
