In A Far Yet Near Land

–

They come to tear us down

For we have suddenly been outlawed

–

No longer appropriate to salute and stand for

They enter our sanctuary of graves

–

Our tombstones tens-of-thousands

That fought and died for them

–

We cannot stop them from where we are

As they spit and kick

–

Knocking over our crosses

Our cemetery being bulldozed flat and forgotten

–

And you ask could this happen

In a far yet near land as here?
