In the Sand

Pain so deep, it makes one cry, nothing said, or given, can erase it, so don't even try. Emptiness has taken a permanent place, my life will never be the same, before that day. Words spoken in haste, a war is born, families will suffer the burden, loved ones leaving, homes are torn. Nothing can make it right, the time is too late, but some are still there, fighting, tonight. Take that war, bury it in the sand, no one can settle the troubles, we have witnessed in that land. Markers line up, across our land, duty, and honor, etched forever, with blood, in that sand. Many speeches to lay the blame, but we don't hear them, they are all, the same. We can, we can't, they don't even know, someone better do something, before we lose one more.
