Never forget

It is silent, calm and serene in the warm summer sun,
Just the chirping of the birds disturbs the silence.
At my feet, 6 young men in every grave.

The crosses reach as far as I can see.
Such a senseless war.
This is what greed, hatred and delusion do.
This is Mara’s work.

But time passes by and people forget.
The cemetery is now a tourist attraction.
And people go about their day,
with greed, hatred and delusion.

Never forget, never again.
