Lest We Forget

Somewhere there is a field, in that field there is a stone. The men that lie beneath it, are men that are unknown. This solemn stone holds words and those words it holds are few. But those few words it holds, are words that hold so true.
THESE BRAVE MEN STOOD UNITED AND UNITED THEY GAVE ALL. IN HOPES THEIR KINSMEN WOULD REMEMBER, IF DIVIDED THEY WILL FALL. 2/15/21

Wren Rushing, Such a profound message of forewarning in your poem. There is so little contrition in a YOLO wavering world. The golden rule will always prevail because it is just. -Richard

You are so right Richard, following the golden rule covers a multitude of sins. Have a blessed day my friend.
