Footprints of the Fallen

Foggy morning dew weighs heavy 

On regimental rows of blood-stained grass,

So many fallen blades sacrificed 

Under shoes of violent acts. 

Guns giving violence a voice

That need not shout so loud, 

Less guns less deadly choices,

Yet,

Bullets keep shattering villages,

Indiscriminately mowing down the crowd.

Bloody footprints walk to heaven

As we totter in our morass, 

Trails of red-tinged dew remain, 

Till the next cutting of the grass
