an old warrior looks upon the land
in wonderment, amazed
for green fields and forest woods
stand where once they were razed
and children play in shining brooks
which once with blood flowed red
near teaming fields of well-fed flocks
where flocks were once laid dead
then hope wells up within his heart
for here he came to die
his armor falls forgotten now
as he treads the path of life
