“A High Price”cji
6/13/11
Most without any clue
the price of freedom paid
foundations already laid
with Babylon to rule;
Trashy songs and dance
trendy clothes or a lack
without goals or a track
without a sideward glance;
Men who now should age
women never to marry
grandfathers never to be
only death’s shroud to see
or another’s name to carry
for their life’s last page;
Too many gone so young
other’s of a middle years
war knows no limitations
and has no imitations
just so many with tears
who’s song now sung;
A high price was the cost
war after war after war
endless in their duration
counting coup one by one;
Never knowing who’s won
seeking freedom as a nation
legends, heroes and lore
known mostly in lives lost;
