Defence By Rachael Jones 6-1


No names nor numbers,

Their lives worthless

To the men standing with

Firearms at their door.

The men were captured,

Sitting still in their cell

Being held as prisoners of war,

Waiting.

 

Waiting for years,

To come into the present

For the day which they will return,

To the land of the free and home

Defended by the brave.

 

They are the brave

Sacrificing their lives,

So citizens may quarrel

Within the streets.

Forsaking their natural rights,

And allowing others

To be prisoners of their sins. 

 

Sins that possess no values

Of life, liberty, and the pursuit

Of happiness.

Men and women return and enter

Society, bury their memories

For the lost brothers and sisters

Which remain defending

The land of free.
