My Medal Of HonorA Poem by The never ending darknessJust a something i thought off
I returned from The harsh land I saved many men But lost many more, I am due to recieve a medal A Medal? for what, Leaving that place alive, what about the other 174 Britisdh soldiers that died Do they not deserve a medal Do they not Deserve My medal I am to be given the Medal of Honour Why? Why when all i do, Is save a few men, The 174 each, have saved majoritys, By doing there acts
I am standing before the majesty She is about to give me my medal, And I think, Why me? Im just another soldier Another man with a family One of the lucky few Who survived the ordeal I wonder how many others would recieve with pride and honor Not me! I would rather, let the poor souls, who died Take this medal.
The medal has now been given, I walk away Feeling honorless What does this peice of metal actually represent? The fact that i am alive Im sure people can see that with ther eown eyes Now i walk out of the palace To see crowds of people clapping Would they be here if I was dead? NO! They wouldnt. This medal is worthless to me!. What is it to you?. © 2010 The never ending darkness |
