A War Poem

Falling over hilltop and mound
Like cattle strung up by the neck
Only days ago was this a spot
For plump gentlemen, children
Battling it out with sticks 
If we could only have rearranged
Those faces which line 
The pews of the Commons

For we trudge, empty handed with
War's steamroller chasing our broken footsteps
