There are no heroes in defeated armies, history moves on VETERAN OF THE LOST WAR They said: These a true man Holds most Holy His Soul His Land His Love God Only For these He fights, Strives, Survives, The odds; Does any Dirty ugly Jobs, So put Away Those toys For these; Those are For boys. So you, For these things Sacrificed Betrayed Defiled Denied Your Soul Most Holy Self alone The blood-rain stained Your hands, And on your face You could find No trace Of the boy You were; He was No longer There. They said: You Sacrificed Betrayed Defiled But now all this Must be denied: We did not know, We were not there, The communication Was not clear... And this ultimate Betrayal, a smile, So innocent of intent: You understand, We are proud, boy, proud... But dont ever speak Our names out loud. So you walk away Deprived of all a man Holds Holy His Soul His Land His Love God Only But I say: These I hold most Holy This mans Soul; His courage, His greatest glory Let me be his Land His Love God Only No stain or tain Defile him; And on his face Surfaces The tender joy Of the awakening Of a man-boy.
