Graves
Humans Can Do Better
Head over heals
Boots on the ground
Head under the heals
final breath revealed
Now no sound
The total given
For freedoms life
Hearts Now in heaven
What lives on is the strife
Now another round
Why can't we live
With no brothers graves
Can't we just live
All lives to save
Now we need to think
Take life in stride
Politics and religion aside
Safely to abide
All on life's side ??
Now no body's to sink
Save the graves for those who's life ran its course
No graves from force
No tears to shed
No soil bed
For those who love freedom and life and all human race
Find a better gathering place
Kids and butterflies to chase
Picnic and music in all park
TRY THIS...
No military memorials needed
parks are grass seeded
All lives completed

ReplyDeleteI agree that we should save graves for those whose lives have run their course. I do think we have to think very carefully before we ever have 'boots on the round' again.
