A field of crop <br />once was a battlefield (red) <br />now feeds a remnant - <br /> <br />They that survived <br />the young that gave up their lives <br />so that this plot of land <br /> <br />Might remain in this nation <br />to fly its flag <br />and export its blood-bought grain.<br /><br />Frederick Kesner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-swords-to-plowshares/
