Poetry: Heroes

by Ian Lundbom

A man will be called
A place of night
A man will fight

Victory will come
Victory will hurt
Victory will take its toll

Years of peace will be given
Years of life will be taken
Years that will never be seen again

The hero will win
The people will grieve
The man will sleep, ever in the place of night

Sacrifice is needed
Sacrifice will come
Sacrifice is what none but one will become and a hero he be

Saved are the lives of many
Saved are the years of life
Saved are the eyes that never see
