Marching Men

by 

Bill Truax

Marching men
In lock step
Tromping
To the pulse
Of hearts
Beating no more
Remembering
Life as it was
And death
Everlasting


Battles won
Battles lost
Care not the
Marching men
In lock step
Tromping 
In death
To a drum
Beating no more
Returning no more


What say you
Marching men
In lock step
Tromping
Through eternity
What value lost
What value gained
Lost in life
Gained in death
Freedom
