Over There

Over There
there is war
raging in long forgotten sands.

Over there
there is blood
it drips from mortar, mine and shell.

Over there
there is death
stars winking out through a cloud's viel.

While over here there is only neglict.
We stand like stone that would rather forget
The toil that shaped us, that keeps us free,
now is scorned by its child across the sea.
