Peter Thomas Poet Free verse

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

Sam Forbes March 11, 2013 at 6:36 AM 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.
