AN OK so I know that in Percy Jackson they burn their dead but in this particular one they don't so deal cause it wasn't originally written for that. This one is for Annabeth.

Falling, Guns, and Poppies

The whistling, screaming of the wind

Echos in her ear as the body

Collapsing, falling meets its untimely end.

Her mother weeping in her sorrow

Her father stands, arms crossed in the background.

The sisters crying and screaming careening out

Of control as the news is told.

They tell them she was in no pain,

Dead before she hit the ground.

A lie, a blatant lie but one

Soothing in its make.

She was shot in the line

Of duty, the other side taking

No prisoners, her body dumped

To destroy evidence, found a

Week later.

A closed casket ceremony

Before her body is "laid to rest"

No rest for the broken soul though

For she has friends a plenty.

Slowly dwindles, the visits as

Time passes by. The poppies grow

From long planted seeds

Taking over the field as years

Come and go.

The body is forgotten.

"In Flanders Fields the poppies grow between the crosses row on row

That mark our place and in the sky the larks still bravely singing fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below."

"In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae
