soon not one will know 
of the war - not one will care
soon - that it was done
not one will mind - neither bird 
nor tree - men dead - utterly

So many forgotten wars, and heroes. But Fortunately here in Australasia we have ANZAC day, when we acknowledge such sacrifice.

war, death, and time . . . all three flow together . . . may we always remember! Your poem captured this haunting image well -- great wording at the end.

I should hope that someone would be left to care.
