Poetry Corner - The Fallen

We the fallen are all that remains,

We are the wounded, covered in bloodstains.

We the fallen are all that remains.

And yet we stand firm despite our pains.

The fight has been long and hard,

Our bodies, our minds, are scarred.

We fought for our rights,

Through endless firelit nights,

Watching our cities burn,

Dreaming of freedom, faces stern.

We the fallen are all that remains

Now is the time to wash away the stains.

We suffered long, our freedom was gained.

We are yet strong, though our hearts are pained.

Now its up to us, our future to mold.

Histories will be written, our stories told.

We are the fallen, today we are free,

We paid dearly for our freedom, don't you see?

We suffered the darkness, now its gone,

Lets look to the light, and celebrate the new dawn.
