The Last*One

(A Body Count)

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who carried a gun,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who fired a shot,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who took a life,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who marched for god and country,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who knew the reality and tragedy of conflict,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who came home in a body bag,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who sacrificed life, liberty, family and honor,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest the last one,
who spared my daughter, your son and our loved ones,

Beneath this white cross is laid to rest one of many,
who’s last breath cried out for mother and asked for us to give peace a chance,

Imagine if beneath this white cross laid a stone inscribed,
“Rest in Peace” Casey Sheehan,

Imagine !

We all are saying:

Build Peace Today.
