Hi all ....

You have asked for some more poetry so....... This is a poem I was asked to write for Remembrance Day -




Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Your transient youth
Is naught but rust

Beneath this mouth
Of broken teeth
White carved signed
With grief

Your birth, your death
In one harsh phrase
Belays the cost of those
Dead days

This rest, this place
Eternal sod
Lies told to an
Uncaring God

The truth, the honesty
The killing joke
Is your not here

Somewhere else, scattered and broke
