How do the peasants die?

 

‘But the peasants...how do the peasants die?’ - LEO TOLSTOY

 

Do they fall in battle

In fires of glory

And passion

Never to be forgotten?

 

Do they die softly

Surrounded by family

And friends

Loved forever?

 

Do they jump into it

To save their one true love

To protect all they hold dear

Forever a hero?

 

Or do they die

Like the rich

Cold

Alone

 

Instantly forgotten
