A choking breath
A desperate prayer
A sweet memory
A dead man's stare.
An unused bullet
An open wound
An orphan's cry
An endless rest.
We hold these
Truths to be
Self-evident that
All men are
Free to die
In the line
Of self-sacrifice;
To be forgotten
On a list
Of many names.
"Love your country,"
But does your
Country love you?
A desperate prayer
