Forgotten Heroes

Forgotten Heroes

“Forgotten Heroes.” Repeated Master Satan.
Yes. Soldiers. Warriors. Hmm. Forgotten lives.

“Forgotten lives.” Yes, these men are deleted.
“Deleted.” Yes. Nobody remembers them. Hmm.

Why do you say this? Because I saw their graves.
“What did you see?” A weedy cemetery. It was sad.

I found a grave. He was twenty-one. In the year 1943.
Passed away. “Passed far.” He was a fighter pilot.

And I saw a little memorial plaque on his tomb.
“Text?” Rosie Mary. His mom. She lived more.

Died after his son's death. Forty years difference.
Poor Mary. I felt very sorry for them. Oh, souls!

This is a very shocking story. Yes. It is that. 
There is a Lidl. Ten minutes walk. I bought flowers.

“To them.” Yes. Oh, sad lives. Sad. Says, my heart.
“Says my heart too.” Oh, Master, a cemetery is history.

I found another dramatic fate. Oh, God, where is love?
More deeply. Yes. "Please keep it in mind. Later write."

Hmm.
“Good night.”
