*****
What is that sad song
I hear out my window
The funeral march
For our lost liberty
The banner draped coffin
Contains only memories
Of how we fought bravely
And heroic deeds
The choir is singing
Glory Halleluiah
Tears of the soldiers
Official decree
We pile the dirt on
As mourners weep softly
For here lies the future
Mediocrity

Yes, it's much more uniquer than some other more unique stuff. Seriously, we have to become more positive about the future. If we think "mediocrity," it's going to be wish-fulfillment and the more we think negatively, the more wish-fulfillmenter we'll get.

Brings me to Tears: we just buried a Dear Soldier Friend a couple weeks back. I can only picture the sadness of that day. Wonderful Tribute thanks again for a thinking in that direction.

Yes!! This is way good!
'Death be not proud...' This mediocrity will never, ever happen, concerning the death of warriors for our country...unto Valhalla they will always rise, on the wings of gigantic eagles!
This poem, indeed, is good...love it!!! Write!!!

Yes, it's more better...
Is it still possible to be heroic?
And why not?
