Honorable Soldier

A soldier caught a bullet to the face, awarded with a medal and with grace, but it is you, Honored Dead, who have lost the race. Don't be deceived, you will not be remembered. A corpse wrapped in a flag only made a fat politician more powerful, that he may live the life he took from you. They use the word "honor" to control you in your time of need, and you died honorably indeed...
