Rest in Peace...

 

Ghostly Voices Whisper...

 

'Rest in peace...'

the veteran pleaded

to his lost brothers in arms

...feeling guilt

because of death

cheated

Sometimes

his answer

goes unheeded

...is not heard

through the alcohol's

musing haze

"We are at rest...

brother...Never fear...

We know that you were there

when you were needed

and we will rest even easier yet...

when we know in reaching peace

you have succeeded."
