But never understanding
The true meaning of our stance,
Knowing that there was understanding
Somewhere far off and beyond,
We obeyed until our very last breath
So that meaning would be fulfilled,
Somewhere far off and beyond.
Following orders,
But never understanding,
We left our mark,
Without concession.
We obeyed until our very last breath,
Knowing that there was understanding
Somewhere far off and beyond.
Inspired by the poem “The Young Dead Soldiers” by Archibald MacLeish 1st Place Winner in Writer's Cramp Contest 5/31/11
3rd Place Winner in Honoring Our Veterens Contest 9/30/11
