Aftermath

The craved for silence has arrived

We are so thankful that we survived

All endured so much upon this day

Now we ponder, having nothing to say

Remembering comrades no longer here

One fact has become absolutely clear

The battle for all its violence and ferocity

Has not  been the much needed victory

We must now dig deep to find within

Further courage and the resolve to win

A conflict that has already cost so many

Will go on, taking us into hell, mores the pity.

We know our souls are committed to a cause

But after what's been, we wish an end to all wars
