Etched Eternal
By: Lawrence W Langman (c)
I've heard the stories
and told the tales.
Of men of courage
that shall prevail.
From distant lands
we toiled through.
In search of glory
we must pursue.
No challenge held
in such regard.
Our bodies battered
forever scarred.
We charged with vigor
We charged with steel.
We charged with honor
their deaths were real.
Our minds now lost
betwixt the mists.
Oh the battle wages
it dost persist.
It takes the mighty
from lofty tales.
Oh those memories
dost assail.
Slowly casted off to
where purgatory lied.
Till our lasting breath we
shall forever be chastised.
For now my final hours
I shall seek to reminisce.
The beauty of your curves
for now my dying kiss.
