Let Us Sleep

Oh!
You, selfish bastards.
So young, insolent.
Who would
Disturb,
Our eternal slumber.
Would spoil,
Our hard won
Sleep.

We.
Some, not all.
Once
Though still now,
Younger than
You.
Unnamed we lie
Forgotten,
Save the Few.

We
For, an eternity
Slept
Beneath the loam,
Our battlefield
Peaceful
Come join us
Or,
Leave us be.

Again
That, foreign call
‘Tis
Life’s unjust travesty,
Worldly conflict
Waste.
England’s sovereign soil
God,
Save the Queen.

Jim Love
