A SLUMBER OF THE SENTRIES

a slumber of the sentries...
allowing them to dream widely of the world
may they forever guard the entries
mindful of the hail-stones that the enemy has hurled
a slumber of the sentries...
pulling them away, and beyond the shooting stars
they will stand by, and tall, for centuries
observant of the planet known to them as Mars
a slumber of the sentries...
sleep, sleep, sleep... sleep eternal now
may you find this rest a peasantry
as the final curtain closes, yet no one knew to bow...

The curtains close too quickly to realize that we deserve a bow for what we have accomplished on behalf of others. Sentries and solders do their jobs; and politicians take the credit. Perhaps the only true peace is the slumber of the sentries..
as in Flanders Fields.
