Civil War Marker: Vanderbilt Campus

History’s unpopular these days, No one cares where Blues shot Greys, Or where the tons of cannonballs were kept. Union marker stands aloof, alone, Monument of bronze and chisled stone, And students giggle where the Northern troops once swept.

Your poetry is wonderful this morning. So much said in these lines....the price that history, war, lives lost.... has cost....it makes you wonder why? And how soon people forget, as if it never happened....
