Unforgotten Signs
Perhaps was fate; perhaps was not
The day that I met Harry
In button-brown eyes I saw his fear
Shell-shocked he was and wary
Ah, another one, of course, he was
I'd seen that look before
My generation torn and hurt
By that stupid, endless war
Perhaps was fate, perhaps was not
When Harry took his life
Weary of dodging bullets
And knowing he'd long-ago died
Perhaps it's right, perhaps it's not
His name's not on The Wall
But Harry died along with them
And forgot how to live at all
Perhaps was good, perhaps was bad
I'd faced the writing on The Wall
And regretted not supporting them
When I held those signs at the mall.
PS: I did NOT carry any signs at any mall but have always supported our troops wherever they were. Just so's ya know...
