I have the utmost respect for soldiers.

Black was the car that carried you

brown was the earth that covered you

clear were the tears that watered you

red was the blood that you drew

green was the grenade that you threw

blue was the sky when you knew

this array of colours meant your life was through

    This is interesting. I hope the sky was blue, but I hope my father didn’t know.
