Only The Truth Broken Once we thought war would be fun A chance to fight to learn whilst young And then we learned some did not return Or their bodies broken Where they stood was wasteland made The shells and bombs and bullets rained And then rebuild for their return But the spirit broken What of the leader swept away Who roused the people to the fight They will fear not a return They are never broken Behind the scenes a goal conspires To seek a path for other means The cause provided a just return Only the truth broken © Philip G Henley 2012 Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailLinkedInRedditPrintPinterestPocketTumblrLike this:Like Loading...
