The unforgiving truth

I walked into a battlefield,

A single tulip remains,

In time the deaths will be forgotten

Many sacrifices were made

Deep in the soil

Blood still remains

I believe I still see bullets

I wish this never happens again

Empathy was forbidden

On the front line

Their intentions were limpid

Their brains turned to ice

I wish a path of redemption

It gleams in my hazel eyes

A wren sits among the field

In the field where many had died
