Sense Sonnet - Acher

Memorial Day 2017

U.S.A. - Memorial Day,
A day to honor soldiers dead.
The last Monday each month of May,
Less tribute and more fun instead.
Oh, still some living journey to
Cemeteries to gravesides of
Soldiers who died trying to do
Service out of duty and love.
For a nation that often seems
Forever fighting wars that be
Old bad endings to young good dreams.
From wars will we ever be free?

We owe it to all soldiers gone
To make real peace, and bring it on.
