THE WIDOW

Feeling worn out and shattered,
the Widow views his grave.
Her husband died in battle.
In a distant land they found him,
battered, beaten, and dead.
He fought for politicians
who never fight their own wars.
To his country,
his life he gave.
Now his widow has his medals,
distant memories, and a grave.

R.E.B.
