A story of

Remembering those

Who have passed

But remain 

In story which

Is the same  

Now as then...

I hear the flags whisper
Stiffened by a free wind
Blowing across a memory
Of friendship, of valor
Of sacrifice
Of freedom

A vampire known as Good Prince Harry
Set his fangs on the Virgin Mary
He took one bite
And saw the light
Combusting in the cemetery

Shadows only remain
Where life stood its ground
Far above their air
Its devastation burned down

(To all those who have lost from war...)

Bogomil Graveyard

Gravestones lopsided
Forgotten behind the trees 
Surrounded by grass
Sun crosses risen from earth 
Crowned with some olive green mosh

Salute them,
those who served;
Bravery;

Every branch
bloody red,
white, and blue;

For freedom 
the flag flies; 
They gave all.

Or Governors will get the birch

Your blood cries out to us
        beneath a benign grassy grave

     Yours was the ultimate sacrifice

Behind a broad fence
A grassy knoll in Dallas
Lone sniper waited
Changed the course of history
Possibly went scot-free, too.

I hate to say it, but it's true
You don't like me, I don't like you
It's good to graduate from this place
So I won't have to look at your face.

This is the one day they say
We must remember this day
All the fighters who have died
As well as those who have tried
Defending us to this day
