i see you stand among your brothers unyeilding and proud you stand in the face of certanity and march to its end doom stands before you and yet you willingly fight whilst others flee in fright i see you march against death in the height of battle the guns rattle screams tears no surrender unquestionable odds unquenchable urge to flee but you are proud your freinds fall before you you bound to join them to will you turn never will you surrender never will you cry in pain never no! you will not you are english you are a soldier remember that take it to your grave and you shall die with pride in your heart as you die before your flag you are ripped a sunder in a thunder of bullets you fall in the feild of ypres an immortal memorial of futility you are unknown amongst the known lost forgotten unimpotant and i promise one day on that day in may i will remember you your sacrifice will not be in vain no longer a tag or a number or a pawn in political chess you will matter amongst the unimportant you can stand and be counted you can be at peace

Very, very passionate write =). It almost brought a tear to my eye, knowing, but never truly grasping, the things that soldiers have to go through. It's more than just a battle with their bodies, but a battle with and within their hearts and minds. Nice work =). |
