Scene of the LossA Poem by J. M. ThompsonHave you ever pondered defeat in battle? Well, this is my illustration of just that...
We marched across the plain,
Oh what a sight to see: Two hundred thousand men, Opposite to me. Left, right, left, right Oh what a sight to see: Two hundred thousand men, Multiplied to three. “Halt!” cried my general, Oh what a sight to see: Three hundred thousand men, Letting steel free. Friends falling cold around me, Oh what a sight to see: Three hundred thousand men, Faces wrought with glee. Bang! Snap! Thunk. Oh what a sight to see: An unknown man across the way, Takes my life from me. Gasping on the earth, Oh what a sight to see: Three hundred thousand men, Sounding our defeat. I draw my final breath, I hear the grim decree: Three hundred thousand men, Shout in victory. © 2012 J. M. ThompsonAuthor's Note
