Nothing To Lose

Broken, Cold, Empty, Devoid of hope These are the forgotten generation These are the few who stood up The young that fell for such a cause Lost, scarred, unremembered, These boys sent with hope of glory Learn instead what it costs To die a nameless death Over they go with nothing to lose Over they fall with nothing to lose Over they die with nothing to lose

this is a lovely poem pEterr, i especially love how the expectation of the opening line (echoed in the capitalisation of the openeing words - like bullets of the soul) is maintained throughout. Actually, did you mean 'devoid' of hope? Because then it's not so impressive.
