Author Note: This is based on a story I heard about when I was researching the Vietnam Veterans War Memorial for Social Studies. I thought it was a good one to show how the war affects us....I hope you like it!
The son raises his blind fathers hand
To his brothers name
His brother who fell in battle
Lost forever.
The blind father longing
To hear his sons voice again
The living brother grieving
Remembering watching
Everyone fall beside him
Lost forever.
And he remembers his brother fall
Screaming and gasping
Into the mud
Lost forever.
The brother weeps
With his father
The lost of family
And the bond of two brothers
Broken apart
Lost forever.
This is really good. It makes me really sad just thinking about it.:(
ReplyDeleteThat was a very good poem how you repeated the "lost forever" part.
ReplyDeleteIt can't be improved. It is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat was really sad and good at the same time. It really makes you think that we should cherish our family even though they may be annoying sometimes.
