The Cost Of Courage! Poem by Tom Zart

The harder the conflict we sometimes face
The far more celebrated is the victory.
Tyranny like hell is tough to defeat
When it raises its head throughout history.

Many brave souls lived before now
Unwept and unknown by their face.
Lost somewhere in the distant night
Till a poet chronicles their grace.

True courage is shown by performing
Without witness what one might be
Capable of before the world
Without any or all to see.

How great the hearts who rest in peace
All blessings from heaven to Earth.
They gave our country but their best
Those destined to be heroic from birth.

War never leaves a country as it was
When neutrality is a term disregarded.
As the murderous hands of man himself
Are to blame for all who have departed.
