The Lost Sounds of War

Each morning reveille would play a symbol of the duty day Each evening taps would play we would salute our flag Taps are played at military funerals a salute is rendered for the dead In war theses sounds of taps are silent when one dies Boys and now girls turning into men and women killing others Boys and now girls dieing for peace with the silent sounds of taps With flags draped over their coffins and no sound to be heard Dying for their country without one last word Tears flow like rain as they hear the sounds of taps Slowly lowering the casket never to be seen again A white stone placed on top with a few words said But the stories of war lay dead under the ground All through history there has been war killing the living We have even created a bomb that could destroy man How large would that grave have to be? What would that white stone say above the grave? Man has died and no life left now peace can finally rest
