Blessed Be
Blessed be the stars so bright
That shine upon this holy night
Through armour gleams so incomplete
And lays the wounded down to sleep
Blessed the blood-matted hair
The martyrdom for maiden fair
And many fall to save her face
All in wonder, love and grace
Come hither stare, the grass she dies
Hark! Silence for our hero's cries!
The knives are drawn and lives erased
Blessed be the lives He saves!
Blessed, the kingdom awaits
No home for failures at the gates
The champion deaths, the knights so gold
Shall never see the night grow old
Blessed be the battlefield
Wounds on wounded, never healed
The helmets useless, slung to ground
Our hero's faces never found
Blessed maiden weeps for love
Weeps for lost to the Above
Cries for something purely gore
This is horror; This is War
Blessed be the stars that shine
On those who b'lieve this be sublime
The foolhardy who ready take
Alas! Death is for the peace's sake!
Blessed fate of the strongest men
Who shall never wake again
The battlefield their deathbeds sheets
As we lay them down to sleep
[ Make Love, Not War ]

Wow! That was excellent I loved the lines “The helmets useless, slung to ground
Our hero's faces never found” It was such an emotional write and I couldn’t agree with you more…still amazed you used your words to truly create one of the best poems I have heard…fantastic job
