โAfter all is said and done
Bravery isnโt really
Courage.โ
Dangling from a swing Jim said,
Even-toned and earnest.
โFancy words and
Gorgeous monuments,
Hail the heroโs deeds,
Itโs inevitable, even
Justifiable, to forget that they were men.
Knowledge of their frailties,
Lamentable bad habits and
Marred moral make-up may
Never be known at all โ
Of course that changes nothing
Providing that we know that theyโre
Quite like you or me.โ
โRidiculous!โ young Edward shouted,
Seriously offended.
โThat is a shabby thing to say my boy,
Ugly, I say and
Very shabby indeed, about those whoโve saved the day!โ
โWhy Eddy boy donโt get het up over some
Xeroxed copied heroes, hail rather those poor guys,
Yes those young bloods,
Zapped andย nameless who fell by the tons.โ
