Seeker

Someone has said the poets now

…are of a nuclear age

and are forming their prose

for history’s last page

I am differing with those words...

it is old wars that I seek to purge

Battlefields…becoming forgotten in time

…are the ones I like to put to rhyme

Somewhere on an old battlefield

may be discovered an answer that to us will yield

truth that may allow peace to be forever sealed

'Never forget…and never repeat...'

is one moral taught to those who seek.

Long has the enemy

fought the enemy in every war

The answer is not a closed door

It is written in heroes’ blood and long has it lain

where both sides of brave soldiers were slain

Maybe you cannot recognize it...so bloody and torn

holding out hope in its hand...so forlorn

surviving long after the battles do wane...

…brotherhood…is its name
