The dead

We are the dead…..

Not Glorious dead

Just dead…

We’ve seen our last sunrise

Laughed our last laugh

Those who have known true love….

Have at least loved…

Death caught us by surprise

Soldiers occupational hazard …

It cannot be undone….

Pity is not what we want

Just remember us….

For we are the dead…

Not the Glorious dead

Just dead.
