LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED
FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE DONE?
OR WILL YOUR GRAVE LAY EMPTY,
LIKE AN UNMARKED TOMB.

MANY HEROES SLIGHTED . . .
FOR INTREPID ACTIONS THAT THEY DID.
SUBMERGED INTO THE VACUOUS GROUND . . .
THEIR DEEDS FOREVER HID.

Graphic made by Evening Rain June 05

UNSPOKEN WOMEN AND MEN . . . THEIR VOICES ETERNALLY STOPPED.
DID THEY FULFILL THEIR ASPIRATIONS?
OR GET BEATEN BY DEATH'S CLOCK?

Lori

BARREN PROMISES TO INCULPABLE WOMEN AND MEN.
PREVARICATION'S TOLD . . .
TO COVER ANOTHER MAN'S SINS.

INNOCENCE GONE . . . IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
TELL ME NOW -
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE?

HISTORY BOOKS TELL A STORY
OF VALOR, STRENGTH, AND PRIDE.
BUT WHERE IS ALL THE PATRIOTISM
OF THE YEARS GONE BY?
SO . . .

WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED

FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE DONE?
OR WILL YOUR GRAVE LAY EMPTY,
LIKE AN UNMARKED TOMB?

ALTHOUGH I WROTE THIS POEM FIVE YEARS AGO, I FEEL IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS MEMORIAL DAY.
