Arlington Cemetery Blues
the Army buried that young man
in little bits & pieces
'honorably' awarded what was left of him
some medals
that he'd never touch
or knew he had won
these…they gave to his crying Mother.
the folded Red, White & Blue
they handed to his grieving Father.
after that...
the way the Military figured it out,
the Army's job was done.
