A Question From The Somme

“Could it be that if we were to write our words in blood
about a battle’s no man’s land within the fields of mud,
and so create a path for modern spiritual trespassers
to seek the many innocent souls individual signatures
haunting a country’s cold communal foreigners grave
kept for the silent lives Staff Orders so willingly gave,
would we not give cause for new warmongers to yield
and not practice their trade upon another killing field?”
