Forgotten Heroes i watched them
Forgotten Heroes
i watched them clumsily stumble
as if it had been practiced to perfection
where they were from,
what past they concealed,
all no consequence now . . .
only that they stumbled
aged & weary, yet strong
in a knowing kind of way
they had been the soldiers
in battles long forgotten,
how sad it must be
that they exist
only to amuse us
with their stumbling.
