FALL ONCE

fall once,
perform before the eyes you lead
end on ground where brothers bleed
become the worm and maggot feed
be the mark your people need...
fall once,
greatly clad in gallantry
to feast with wine all century
remembered by who followed thee
to view a lord to come to knee...
fall once,
upon your back look to the sky
stand fast the tears you will not cry
hold your weapon one last high
fall once a hero, a hero die...

Vivid and beautiful and if you've been shot or blown
up surreal a bit like being in a football game
only the magnitude is all encompassing
Peace in any
And all in such
I have no way to identify
shot myself in the foot in the snow on xmas eve
when I was fourteen, which is not at all the same thing
But the smell I remember of gun powder
stayed with me
I've got a few veterans of war in my family
and poems like this one mean a whole lot
Great poem!
Peace! |
