Names On A Wall

 

Panels form a long black wall

In memory of those who answered a call

They traveled to a far off land

To meet their fate by an enemy's hand

They never lost a battle whether

On sea or air or land

But why they had to be there

Most didn't understand

The battles lasted many years

The cost was turmoil and strife

Our people shed many tears

At the loss of human life

Many years have come and gone

And many tears still fall

When little children ask their

Grandpa why are all these names

Written on this wall
