Bto High A Price (Author Favorite) Poem by Barry A. Lanier

Forgive us O'Lord
That man cannot abide In peace and forgiveness
To see the multitudes of men Stumble in darkness
Only to rise no more
Laid out across the battlefields
Of all the long lost wars
The infinite sounds of the brave
The agony and screams Dying men calling out
Then ending their dreams
I know of the honor and glory
For these fearless and brave
But God only knows
Was it worth what they gave?
In man's wisdom and intellectual mind
Might he one day find
An alternate solution
For these trying times
