This is a poem written for the First World War dead. I'm posting it tonight in memory of all the Iraq invasion dead as well as for those who will miss tonight's broadcast of Nightline, which is giving tribute to the fallen. The War Memorial A war memorial, standing straight And proud against the sky Issues this challenge, demanding still Of those who pass it by Do you recall men went to war? These bodies that I guard? Did you learn the lesson that they left? Or legacy discard? Most men fought and some men died Some wounded, some remain By ignoring that, you're not saving lives You're killing them again! They suffered long-in trench and pit For principles they believed - That sacrifice prevents repeat - And were they all deceived? I am not here to glorify war Or justify it's right; I am just here because men believed Their death could make your future bright. ~S.J. Robinson
