Innocence…

Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

… never ends for it never was.
Hear the sounds of earthen clods
as the digger fills the open grave
that holds the remnants of the brave?
And just as tears begin to fall,
the echo of death’s eternal call
resounds in ears that had been deaf
to innocence; with hope bereft.
