Stone Soldiers

Stone Soldiers Another fallen soldier dies, fighting a war on some far away front. Another graveside makeshift goodbye, straight back into the man hunt... A husband, father, son, and friend, is how his stone grave marker reads. The etch-a-sketch of unplanned death, infinite losses dying for other men's greed. bmdavey@ 02/21/16

Sad but brilliant. Poignant and true. Greed and power give birth to their own children: death and destruction. Well written Brian.
