Without Red and White

Cemetery on a Ridge World revolved around war called Revolutionary And there were graves of soldiers in a cemetery Located on a ridge overlooking some small town On clear day could be seen when you look down. Had never been quite sure or whether or not Another war one day would have to be fought People with each other have become civil Back forth on sides and chair would swivel. There was blue and gray without red and white Who gave them the right to one another fight Against themselves then have to cry and bleed Grow old with a hair line which now does recede. War had ended while suffering still seemed to last All of it now has become part of an important past Battle Hymn of Republic new North now did hum Moved to South and Southern have now become. James Serious Mysterious Horn Retired Veteran
