ghosts & echoes

heirs of Abel
          descendants of Cain
flag draped coffins
          honored, guarded
                  & revered
         shock & awe
pomp & circumstance
for
god & country
         life & liberty
                  truth & justice
        cause & effect
                 us & them
from dawn to dusk
         time
leaves only ashes
        in our mouths
