We Grieve En Masse, x10 Challenge - Revised 6/6/07 Options

[JLY]

1st Revision: 6/6/07

WE GRIEVE EN MASSE

We pray today for the fearless;
bugles' echoes solemnly flow
casting a faithful closing veil
with reverence, we now bestow.

Processions of grieving marchers
lay wreaths at every sacred tomb;
honors, mothers never envisioned
the day their child left the womb.

Many rally cries for retribution,
but who is the enemy we fight?
Power should never embolden us
to deny one's unalienable rights.

WE GRIEVE EN MASSE

We pray today for the unafraid;
solemn echoes of bugles' blows
cast their faithful closing veil
with reverence we only now bestow.

Processions of grieving marchers
lay wreaths at every sacred tomb,
accolades, mothers never envisioned
the day their prince left the womb.

Many of us rally the cry for retribution,
but who is the enemy we seek to fight?
May our children learn that other cultures
are also blessed with an inalienable right.

Words used (in order of appearance): pray, unafraid, echoes, bugle, faith, tombs, accolade, prince, learn, right

A fine tribute... well done, I have no nits.

Yes... we should remember, to honor and remember those who sacrificed so much...and, echoing Sue (and the words of the song) to ask again, "When will we ever learn".
