Description

I journeyed here not;

But hither I've come,

Seeking what most Men naught.

- A modicum

In the Annals of Naught,

I persevere to find,

A tomb history forgot;

And the interred one,

In equal measure, not often thought.

Yet His inventions we’ve often used;

A memoir unawaringly abused,

That we’ve failed to Self-remind

The toll of War is visceral blind.

Where be this tomb, stony and sun-scorched

That centuries of weather had reigned

And its significance, botched?

Where must one offer a knee,

Or a prayer devout;

Or even a tear, misty?

When should one arise,

When must one, return;

And, set fire the Torch of visceral light,

That humanity can, at once, discern.
