War's Last Battleground

    He fell as he retreated
      from war’s last battleground

    Stray bullet lodged beneath his brain
      ghostly whispers in the rain… 

    Never again will rooster crow
      for him the morning will not know

    Never again to feel the love
      of wife or baby boy  

    Once a year to be feted
      though never to know joy
