Medal of Honour (An Acrostic Poem at Remembrance)

Muddied and so broken, King’s shilling is

Expense, making all such thankful pride; a

Dugout plan past tense, nothing really

Alters, a fight there has to be, as

Laying down a path for love; bleeds

 

Out so willingly, shell shock and the

Fury, comprise a horror story, where

 

Hate is made state sanctioned, the

Orders of such glory, cancel every

Notion, just complete the mission, to

Outline; all the ways; a man can make division,

Underfoot is sorrow, they cry out every name, lo’

Ridiculed; by same old choice; that carries on the pain.
