THE WAR COMES HOME

 

Many came.

The preacher spoke.

Hearts were broken.

Mourners had nowhere to turn.

 

With money earned  

and with bodies burned.

Someday they will learn

what there is to learn.

 

Families and friends came to the funeral.

The bodies were shipped home

with a flag draped over the box.

 

Tuition paid

for a college education.

They hoped to find a job.

That was their hope,

so many hopes,

all gone now.

 

Men and women,

fallen on the battle field.

A post office was named after one of the guys,

as if that meant anything.

George Snedeker
