    Remnants of War
    like the breath of satan 
    its been breathing down my neck
    but the remnants of war 
    just wont let me forget
    pictures so vivid
    but only come within dreams
    as i relive death
    slowly scene by scene
    never down play the memories
    of brothers still loved
    but i beg to forget
    the sweat and blood
    the smoke in the distance
    and the tears we shed
    remnants of brothers
    that have long been dead
    peace be upon them 
    and god bless their souls
    but those that are living 
    still carry the tolls
    for those that are gone
    you are never alone
    so ashes to ashes 
    till we all go home....
    like the breath of satan 
    its been breathing down my neck
    but the remnants of war 
    just wont let me forget
    pictures so vivid
    but only come within dreams
    as i relive death
    slowly scene by scene
    never down play the memories
    of brothers still loved
    but i beg to forget
    the sweat and blood
    the smoke in the distance
    and the tears we shed
    remnants of brothers
    that have long been dead
    peace be upon them 
    and god bless their souls
    but those that are living 
    still carry the tolls
    for those that are gone
    you are never alone
    so ashes to ashes 
    till we all go home....

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
