Fold
the flag triangle make
Hand
it for the widow to take
Brass
bands play soldiers lament
Lonely
women with solemn intent
Fighting
men such courage shown
Leaving
families all alone
Honour
those that gave so much
For
a flag that she can clutch
The
gun salute the marching bands
The
emptiness where she stands
Show
courage she knows she’ll fail
Red
eyes behind black veil
A
life exchange for flag of cotton
By
tomorrow she will be forgotten
