I imagine the cries, the screams,
the whispered prayers,
the lost dreams
of poor souls, whose bones lie
huddled, forever forlorn
beneath that street in Passchendaele.

Thanks for commenting Magic. These bones weren't just placed nicely, they stayed where they fell, thousands upon thousands of them, some say the street is a mile long. Valx
