Remember

by Celebwen Telcontar

This is a poem, the first poem I have written here, and it is for the men who fell at the battle of the Alamo, which is why it is here. Please review, and tell me what you think of the poem. It is very heartwrenching to me. Please review. Thanks. CT.

A red sun rises.

The sky is the colour of the

Blood that litters the earth.

Packed dirt is now

Red mud.

A red sun rises.

Men lay scattered where they

Fell, defending the principles,

Freedom, Liberty, Happiness,

A family to bring to this new world.

A red sun rises.

It passes over bodies

Over their faces,

Friends, families, comrades,

All fighting for freedom.

A red sun rises.

They say that the battle is over

They say that the war is won.

But men are still willing to die,

So that others can live free.

A red sun rises.

A dire price is paid,

A price for liberty,
For Freedom,

For a new world.

A red sun rises.

Over a flat plain,

Unobstructed, as if from a dream,

A ghostly fiddle plays.

A voice calls: 'Remember!'

A red sun rises.

Over a white stallion,

Charging like Michael and Heaven's Angels,

People scream, cry out,

'Remember!' 'Never forget!'

A red sun rises.

Over a single star of mourning,

The morning star,

Freeing spirits, freeing souls,

Never forget

The red sun that rises.
