Of Men Who Died Bravely

Of men who died bravely in battle stories we read of and hear
Perhaps of the fear of death they had lost their fear
But dying without fear hardly proves one as brave
Some have a secret wish for an early grave
The dead hero never hears the last post the bugler does play
And the earth worm the only form of life where dead people lay
Those without the fear of death have a wish for to die
Our egos are far bigger than you or i
To a Universal God i am not one who to does pray
And of a life after bodily death i am not one who can say
I am what some refer to as an infidel
A god forsaken fellow who pens doggerel
Stories of men who die bravely in wars far away
We read of and hear of in the news every day.
