Unknown Parts of Bones

He was killed after being fully grown,
And for him a bugle had been blown;
Music  made;
Properly laid;
Burled in Arlington are parts of bones.

Beneath this green and grassy field
Whence ghosts of heroes past doth shield;
Lie noble relics of flesh and bone,
To each bequeathed a marble stone.
And as you walk amongst  the rows
May you learn what each one here knows;
O that freedom should not be lost,
All who lie here have paid the cost....

At twelve miles per gallon 
in mid-June Arlington 
the man stopped for fuel 
ignoring his malfeasant
twelve-year-old son.

Six billion ants retreat
underground under duress 
the sharp gaze of a boy 
and his looking glass, the son 

of a man wiping sweat 
off his brow under duress  
from solar deliverance.

Row upon row of white crosses speak
Silently of the insane frivolity of war.
Arlington is the stark reminder I seek
Row upon row of white crosses speak
Solemnly of soldiers lives at their peak,
Their courageous voices heard no more
Row upon row of white crosses speak
Silently of the insane frivolity of war.

Leaving the train left us rattled 
braising sounds abruptly heightened 
my senses measured completely
beneath sullen moments within 
quiet calmness thee essence of

Arlington cemetery the hidden forestry 
catering to tiny mounds and trees 
industrial findings nestled crawdads 
flew out sparingly creating winged mesh 
emptiness covered in insects flesh...

I look over the fields
At Arlington where they lay
Their pearly white crosses
Stand proudly each day

Wheather gleaming in sunlight
Or covered with snow
Each one stands for freedom
Each one in a row

We should hang a medal of honor
On these crosses that stand
These warriors gave everything
They've protected our land

We owe them a debt
We can never repay
Please join me and honor them
Each and every Veteran's Day...

This is a growing Pennsylvania community.
Just south of Pittsburgh, it’s in Allegheny County.
This town has been incorporated since 1950.
This is a place with a rather long and proud history.
Baldwin stretches north along Becks Run.
It is just south of South Side Flats and Arlington.
The population per square mile is rather dense.
Baldwin has just over twenty-thousand residents.
With a bright future, Baldwin is a town that grows.
This is a very proud place, and it shows....
