"Too Many Crosses" (VJ Day)


“Too Many Crosses”

cji
9/2/15

Endlessly stretching
across oceans restless
many buried at sea
whole ships and subs
war is a hateful thing
without shame taking
then some making
too many crosses
VJ day coming today
70 years ago
yet some still killed
or tried to maintain
denying defeat
ignoring surrender
endlessly forgetting!
