Constance La France Poet Couplet

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.

Rico Leffanta January 22, 2020 at 11:43 AM 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!
