The Greatest Generation

Their numbers dwindle.

All too soon they will be

But a memory,

This selfless generation of a nation

Sworn to liberty.

 

A world gone mad a second time,

The coils unflailing yet again;

An evil Axis from the Rising Sun to

Blitzkrieg’s bitter train.

 

A peaceful flock may be mistook,

Might look as though they just don’t care.

But woe to one who throws the stone

And dares to wake the sleeping bear.

 

And the hibernating masses rose

Unquestioning the narrative,

They gave and gave and then gave more

Til there was nothing left to give.

 

So many perished in the quest

To bring perdition to an end.

A generation sworn to serve;

We’ll never see their likes again.
