War is over
Arise comrades
on both sides of the line
and forever exit
your blood stained trenches
Time to finally
put away the big guns
and parade on home
Give Mom a big hug
Kiss the girl next door
and before
you lay your grateful head
on your greatly missed bed
say a silent prayer
for friends and foes
all equally dead
Honor those souls
who now sleep forever
beneath well manicured
carefully marked
plots of Earth
Waiting patiently
for the angels to play reveille
so they may rise again
and forever forget
their scars of war
