“Each Fought Well”

(to another hero gone)

 

cji

10/31/12

 

Each to the battlefield to enter

age and sex un-mattering to any

bullets, land mines, bombs blind

disease and other wages of war

lingering a passive death knoll

years to pass uncounted in tears

till awakening only then to die

widows and orphans then to cry

the lingering in our mind fears

who next will blindness toll

once strong and vital now tore

so long ago nightmares remind

striking on the battlefield many

a disease process ‘in venter’!
