To Live They Must PerishA Poem by Azalea RoseDedicated to our brave soldiers , and the innocents who are killed by them. For the innocent soldiers who are killed by other innocent soldiers. Peace Will Prevail.
To those who fall upon black ashes of red white and blue striped flags.
Black ashes. Fabric on fire. Soldiers fell too sober. Their black words make up their anthem. Entirely ashamed we spit out their names. Innocent lives spared, tons sheared. Who are they? These heroes come to life in their formations. Each shot, Representing our stars. Their blood, it runs into stripes. This flag falls Into mud. Our Children turn to snipe. Kids smile and pull the trigger And look up to them as a figure. They're dying, One By One They fall But stand for us. A flag for fighting. A soul lost on command. © 2016 Azalea Rose |
