“Truth
is often attended
by a bodyguard
of lies”
A consequence
so precious
its veracity
must hide
Deep within
the smoke
on a battlefield
most dire
Victory burns
within each man
intrepid
— to inspire

I love how this one opens the first stanza speaks the truth with a bit of bravado and notes that truth is not that pure
As Churchill discovered with D-Day ... The truth of the landing (Normandy instead of Calais) had
to be hidden to be successful.
These are powerful words in tribute to a day that must not be forgotten (though I feel it almost has been). Hard words, but true. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏
Thanks Tristan. My Father-In-Law was there.
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing. That adds even more meaning to an already powerfully meaningful poem. You are welcome, Kurt.
Thanks again.

Just who were you?
Perhaps Mr.Chamberlain
Could've told us
A thing or two
That’s for you to figure out, genius. Read the footnote.
