HONOURABLE MEN




They are men who are still honorable
Not by birth, nor family, but are not commendable
Nor seen for their travails, they show that values are memorable
For by purpose, they were conceived o show men as valuable

They are still men not yet honoured
Or spared to understand the depth of their unrewarded sacrifice
A generation washed by unshared pains
They live and die not making the headlines, but where honourable

There are soldiers who have never tasted war
But sing war songs than their compatriots in the bar
For in it is profit in the stores, while the fallen fall with the gar
They are more honours  to the death, than we living here with sigh

For this honour was not heaped, they were scattered
Honoured men are fewer than those that are battered
Some die to this heartbreak...shattered
Devastated because what men should honour...they guttered!
