Premium Member Ballad of An Unsung Hero
Vivid flashbacks from bloodshed battles his soul still ravaged by devious dictators, cries from fallen comrades still echo in his mind, but he continues to walk upon a path of pandemonium. Reluctantly he ventures forward with vengeance portrayed through embers engulfed within his frenzied eyes - reflecting his mother's irreversible tears. He is no mercenary nor a moneymaker, just a repentant drifter, preparing...

Unsung Hero
Who am I to judge your instinctive desire, To quench the passionate yearnings you require? Freely, we placed our inhibition to the side, Tangled up as one, why should you be crucified? Such a glorious act, marred by double standard. One’s perceived as a hero, the other is slandered. I urge ye without sin, to please cast the first stone. If that...

Unsung Hero
Here he lies lifeless He whose hands had many healed though unsung by some Now, we cheer him home Down his homestead, we set him Our selfless hero! Pain is the pleasure of earthly patriotism... Fame is for a time Though the rose blossoms on fields where good does not stay, it withers at dusk Kindness lives briefer Twilight comes after sunset All is vanity!...

The Grave of An Unsung Hero
Here you silently rest unsung hero A granite stone on top of you As a symbol of deference and dignity With the words Rest in Peace. Rest in peace indeed hero of mine!

Unsung Hero - the Soldier
Unsung Hero – The Soldier Warily he stood at the corner, Wondering which way to turn. A weary smile on his faded brow, As he held out an old worn-out hat hoping for handouts, A few miserly pennies or perhaps, even a piece of bread. This once proud soldier, Now reduced to being a petty beggar, Was a remnant of a cruel war; Where...

Premium Member No Longer An Unsung Hero
Dad you don’t have much time left in this world Recently we sat and looked through yellowing photographs Pictures I had never ever seen showing images from your past Of places I have never visited, of faces I had never seen One photograph in particular stunned me It was a photograph of you in a military uniform Standing with other men...
