Cry 'Havoc'

C E Thomas

Let them slip

The dogs
The catapults
The ballistas

Let them slip

The hogs
The pigs of war
The generals

Let them slip

The fogs
The heavy mists
The sharpened swords

Let them slip

The dogs
The nameless few
We cry havoc

Let them slip

We let them slip

And so they fell

  • Comment from author about the poem: For the countless, nameless, who gave & give their lives so others may live free. Of course, inspired by Shakespear and what I consider one of the greatest quotes in playwrite history.

    Thank you!
    and I completely agree
    in whatever format
    we must remember, to insure
    their sacrifices, won't ever
    be marginalised to those
    history book, footprints..
    real people, real blood, real bravery
    that, is their legacy!
