THE PRICE OF PEACE


The smell of tortured, shredded earth
imbues the air around
as steady rain pools cold and dark
upon the boggy ground.

A flash of light spears from the east
to brighten up the pitch
as man-made thunder slams across
the soldier in his trench.

Within the dark, a muzzle flash!
A scream, a sacrifice,
another patriot goes down
to pay the final price.

His comrades mourn but briefly now,
for Time rolls ever on,
and each one in his sep’rate way
prays for another dawn.

Sleep sweet, civilian, safe at home
beneath your silken sheet,
for peace is guarded jealously
by this rare valiant breed!
