Antietam National Battlefield


Humanity screams

Feel my sting

But nature whispers for peace.

Gravestones lie

Preserving life

Under the towering trees.

Hear the cannon fire

Evil, man’s desire

Rolling fields covered in blood.

Hear the horn

Soldiers are torn

Their bodies lost in the mud.

Erect a wall

Celebrate all

Trim the hedges so neat.

Remember the fight

Loss in sight

Roots reaching the deep.

Patriotism roars!

Serve to be more

Rays of sun anoint the whole.

Mortality ends

Divinity begins

Together, music composed.
