Day the Fallen Soldiers Cried

The rain poured down in Arlington The sky was dark and grey All throughout the cemetery there was no one Not a sound was made on this dreary day! The echoes of the fallen Cried out loud and clear A booming noise like fire from a cannon! crying 'Remember us! Oh! Hear our pleas, we fear.. That the living goes on without recall' So many years have come and gone And all our efforts have gone with us to the grave upon our fall... No longer are we remembered for our bravery which with our very lives we gave.. In the name of Demorcacy! We have fought in so many wars...a million miles away We've suffered so much casualties...for what purpose, can you give us any? What is our reward? To lie in some shallow grave out here..year after lonely year Whilst the living benefits the fruit of our labors...Is this fair? So sad, So very sad...So very dark and lonely there... Amongst the rows and rows of American flags waving in the air... and miles and miles of poppies strewn all over Arlington National Cemetery.... The dead cry in lament...because nobody even cares!
