I wrote a poem for this prompt. I hope it is acceptable. Thanks to Sandra Crook for the photo prompt.
The rugged tower of rock
stood reaching for the sky
it was made to remember heroes
Men, much braver than you or I.
Blindly they ran, walked or rode
into battle with the enemy unseen,
men also brave, onward they strode
whose intent was just as keen.
They clashed on the beaches,
and the rocky hills above
They fired guns in anger
for a country they so loved.
Among them was no victor
no winner could be seen
just rivers of blood which flowed
over hills that once were green.
Lest We Forget.
Lest we forget, for there are people now, this very day, fighting wars of insanity, under the banners of this or that, in rivers of blood.
We can do so much better than that ….
Well done.
Na’ama
A very touching tribute to the fallen.
Beautifully done.
A good take on the prompt. War is almost always futile.
More than acceptable. The history of man’s inhumanity toward man.
Nicely done.
VERY acceptable. Very thought-provoking. Thank you.
