Sitting To Reminsce Their Victories Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Seldom are those pro-active,
Sitting to reminsce...
Their victories conquered,
During the causes and effects of war.
Seldom are those who remember conflicts,
Beat on their chests with a wanting of more.
Seldom are those who barely survived,
Think of themselves and not those who died.
And seldom do those who speak of destruction,
Can be heard to wish for a peaceful existence...
Or think of those who do,
As strong. Brave. And fearless people.
Only the ones pro-active,
Speak of the future to leave behind those weak.
And determined to live,
Without being influenced by thieves...
Or barbarians believing themselves,
To be idolized as heros of destruction.
