Brave men

In the days of time that’s passed,
People fought for land and glory.
They lost their friends, they starved and died,
For all their babies left at home.

And when the war was finally over,
Their ships and planes had brought them home.
They reached their plains, but all had changed,
For time has past and life forgotten them.

So that is war and that is life,
People fighting for their cause,
But as it always, time’s ruthless hand,
Swipes off all they achieve…
