A Peacekeeper's War

In rows and rows of quietus and grey, are buried the brave and I recall the day. When brother returned and I fell to pray, gone my little brother now, in earth he lay. He went to fight a war to keep it far away, he was a peacekeeper now, beneath a rose bouquet. __________________________ January 22, 2020 Poetry/Couplet/A Peacekeepers War Copyright Protected, 20-1218-658-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for FTI - War Brian Strand Podium Place One

So many have died believing they were keeping the peace rather than enriching the rich by boosting the sale of arms. The USA is the world's largest manufacturer, and does not like China or Russia encroaching on its sales! Good luck! Aloha! Rico
