Unknown Soldier Poem by ion untaru

Unknown Soldier



called with trumpet and drums
to kill foreign people
that you have not done any harm,

to poison their wells
to burn households
in a war that was not yours

and finally they let
your bones to rot
in land „released” by you

and in token of gratitude
will raise a monument,
and you will be present in school books
history thanking you
for making national „greatness”

(translated from romanian)
