Falling and fallen heroes

—

Today we are on a search

To take home

Standing heroes

They stood the test of time

Not falling in the nick of it

Like soldiers who won the battle of time

Wait in the field after the war

For the last touch of honour

 

Ponder on the lying heroes

If nature’s arrow did fall

Then let nature bury; icing the cake

If a bird or creeping beast

Then its armour of service was not meet

Save they left as anger of hunger fled

Pity to the hanging disabled heroes

Hijacked or suicide. Public shame

 

Now to the living heroes

Honour them with a fall

And take them home to men
