A
Sunshine Day
In paradise
Suddenly
Deliberately
An Attack
On Freedom
War
Engages
***
While many were sleeping
others would be laid
to an eternal rest
at the bottom of a harbor floor
no satin lined casket
mother nor lover planted a last kiss
your bodies more water than man
***
on this day of memories
we take a stand
for a world
where
there
will
be
no
WAR

Felt the loss in your lines
“no satin lined casket
mother nor lover planted a last kiss
your bodies more water than man”
