Keeping them Alive


Keeping them Alive


Keeping them alive with tunes and tears
Let them rest, in peace, for a million years

‘Till battlefield souvenirs, are but rust in space
And even God, forgets the last boy’s face

Let the mud consume the dog-tags
Where the first one over, dragged on his last fag

Let them rest, a rest in closed-eyed peace, for good
Let them sleep, where they shook and bravely stood

Amen
