See the final result of the sighting,<\/p>\n

Look and note that heaven’s enlightening<\/p>\n

Standing bravely,<\/p>\n

facing and fainting,<\/p>\n

whilst in the making<\/p>\n

their foes we’re awaiting.<\/p>\n

It’s not a fantasy this is reality<\/p>\n

The look on my face as I saw the fatalities,<\/p>\n

shedding tears of our fallen peers<\/p>\n

knowing their spirit will always be here.<\/p>\n

Right in the deep of the forest we seek,<\/p>\n

hunting and hunting as long as we speak.<\/p>\n

Until our destiny becomes a dream<\/p>\n

as we fall into the deepest of sleeps.<\/p>\n

Death from above, below and the side,<\/p>\n

hearing the bombings all through the night,<\/p>\n

spectating poppies during the fight.<\/p>\n

Silence.<\/p>\n

The graveyards sleep silently as did our warriors.<\/p>\n

The blood creeps quietly into the flowers.<\/p>\n

Let them have freedom for an hour<\/p>\n

as the soil gives birth to strength and power.<\/p>\n

I hope you remember fully<\/p>\n

the ones who took bullets.<\/p>\n

Tears for our peers who had bombs in their ears.<\/p>\n

Remember. Don’t forget it. For us. For them. For you.<\/p>\n

Ellis<\/p>\n
