Brian Davey Poet Rhyme

Stone Soldiers

Stone Soldiers



Another fallen soldier dies,
fighting a war on some far away front.
Another graveside makeshift goodbye,
straight back into the man hunt...

A husband, father, son, and friend,
is how his stone grave marker reads.
The etch-a-sketch of unplanned death,
infinite losses dying for other men's greed.

Franklin Price February 21, 2016 at 7:57 AM Nice write...Greed is most of the time, the driver...such a shame Brian Davey February 21, 2016 at 3:18 PM Yes greed is the Mark of the Devil Himself

A Yorkshire Poet February 21, 2016 at 4:40 AM Sad but brilliant. Poignant and true. Greed and power give birth to their own children: death and destruction. Well written Brian. Brian Davey February 21, 2016 at 3:16 PM Thank you so much for the wondering ful comment, I wish that they didn't send out these poor women and men to die for.things they never heard of or don't understand
