The Truth In Battle

Now we stand on the precipice. 

They lie before us in their own blood and corpses

Yet while we stand victorious, 

None who were there shall forget the horror of that battle.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
