In war men pass like shadows that stain the grass, Leaving their lives upon the green: While Earth bewails the crimson sheen, Men's dreams and stars and whispers all helpless pass. (Mike Jones)

In war men pass like shadows that stain the grass, Leaving their lives upon the green: While Earth bewails the crimson sheen, Men's dreams and stars and whispers all helpless pass.
