Boom,
Boom, Boom. The sky darkens above him.
The footsteps of soldiers attack the
ground,
The smell of gunpowder thick in the air.
Boom, Boom, Boom. The soldiers all lay
dead,
The bodies covered in white, dog tags
taken away.
Shells of former soldiers arranged like
boxes on a train.
Boom, Boom, Boom. The bodies are stacked
one by one,
Families crying and caskets closing.
Brothers lost and fathers missed.
Boom, Boom, Boom. The flag stretched
across the coffin,
The tombstone engraved with the words
Freedom, Liberty, Justice.
The price to pay was his life.
Boom, Boom, Boom. The sound of taps
fills the air
The guns go off. Boom, Boom, Boom. |
