Battle Hymn
by Alden Sylvester
Age Group: Adult
Wars a pitiless beast
felt the least
if you like it
only fools prance
to slaughters romance
never having chance
to try it
when face that smiled
that once was child
now's cast off leaving
of your cleaving
will the blood
the snow
the ravens wing
remind you of raptures
horror unheeded
who is your beloved
that eats the dead
so gloriously
your hero’s portion
like lot
to fall in forgotten field
and restless memories
drowned in drink
sooner die in bed
smiling like a baby
at those gone ahead
who beckon and call
let body fall
down through dark earth
swallowed like a lover
that left yesterday
