The value of life.
A value we undermine,
A value we overlook,
A value we don’t appreciate.
I look around and see all the lives lost.
The lives of honor,
the lives of sufferance,
the lives of warriors,
all surround me.
Walking by graves,
I listen to the sound of the crunch from the fall leaves.
I watch the sunset,
all while thinking of them.
I don’t know them.
But I know they suffered,
I feel their pain,
I see their end,
and I embrace their honor.
