Student Patriots at USA Patriotism!

The Forgotten War

For I am dead,
that life should be
just a mere completion
of my thoughts.

For I fought the brave,
I fought the small,
I fought the warriors of the sun.

With submachine guns
and dead canteens,
cold and starvation
were kin to me.

And with no merit,
like in that war,
my body stiff
in a coffin returned.

Because the powers
craving revenge,
displacement and sadness
brought it to an end.
