Death For Peace

A fallen soldier prays
For peace, unity, love, and his life
Wounded on the battle field he lays
Longing for his home, family, children, and his wife
Never again will there be a more honorable death
Than this of bravery; for us to live freely
So the valiant soldier whispers with his last breath
“Would you too, for the flag, cease to live?”

And now, let that eminent flag fly high
Full of gratitude and pride for the one who died for peace.

An excellent poem. It elaborates how the brave soldieres sacrifice their life for the dignity of the flag of their nation. The poem, in silent words, also shows the importance of peace required for each of us to live peacefully.

I have tears in my eyes… I don’t think people realize the stake soldiers are in when they go to war. They are bargining their lives for peace and justice. Truly a masterpiece. Great keep up the good work :)
