Listen and hear the bravery of unsung heroes, <br />echoes of cries with thunder in the heavenly skies. <br />Is it not an irony to war in order to live in peace?, <br />when remembrance brings warmth and comfort to <br />an everlasting and insatiable beast. Again, night will come to cool the heat of their blazing hearts, <br />rest will not arrive because of anxiety and fear of sleep, that we do not wake from, <br />Gentle words filled with care and tender love temporarily encloses the <br />void of an affection which never parts, <br />confusion and heartache reveals another hand, full <br />of retribution and vengeance as a reminder of what must become. Smiles and laughter unfolds to rage and hatred, <br />the world shatters as if a broken mirror. <br />The pieces fall like sand, carelessly being <br />thrown about by an innocent child <br />for this life, the fragments will be replaced together as before. The mirage of inspiration and fantasy, <br />will become whole in this beautiful land, so vast. <br />War will be a dark shroud left in the past, <br />and we shall praise and honor every soldier till the last.<br /><br />Jin S.
