Stained

Stained retelliation's rent
with eyes on war, revile content,
the data in retreat compounds
the effort, while the soul surrounds!

So bravery's loss, the head-on throng
depicts its journey's ending strong
with all of life, man's thought belong,
not on his death, and not his wrong!

But one last purge of grief's forlorn
the foolishness of war's surged song,
that words do carry, his heart gone
bides not contrary, stress plots on!

And stained retention marks e'er long
reflecting hurt's agreed succomb!
