MAYDAY 2000

Held up to ridicule, then buried again
beneath the turf - they've kicked the Fallen
when they were down.
Give them no credit for looting our freedom.

In the Great War for Civilization
nobody won, we're still fighting.
No fitting end, no land fit for heroes -
no glorious dead.

Blinded by spray paint
and drowned in apathy,
their crushed spirits turn away.

They never deserted us.
We never deserved them.
