a single shot whistled by <br />a single soldier falls and dies <br />a single silence shatters in <br />as he falls bone from skin <br /> <br />a single poppy <br />near a shallow grave <br />a paupers rest <br />for the brave <br /> <br />we were standing <br />at the gates <br />we were strangers <br />who share our fates <br />we were brothers <br />side by side <br />we were heroes <br />who will never die<br /><br />Jacob Andrew Jarman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-single-shot/
