Bombs Light Up the Sky
As he lies mute beneath the sod,
a fallen one with freedom scars,
his mound's a bed of goldenrod.
He gave his life as did his squad
when bombs nosedived like shooting stars.
As he lies mute beneath the sod,
his children play and run roughshod
and like kids do, play game of wars.
His mound's a bed of goldenrod.
The headstone's etched with demigod
who strums a granite stone guitar
as he lies mute beneath the sod.
Now tears are dried for footsteps trod
and in a frame there shines his bars;
his mound's a bed of goldenrod.
Still soldiers march with super rods
and bombs still burst like sour mash jars
as he lies mute beneath the sod.
His mound's a bed of goldenrod.
