Cenotaph

Cenotaph

Alone you stand
The final parody
Destined to silence
A memorial to mortality

Carved in stone
A tribute to the dead
For nameless victims
Whose litany is unread

Never forgotten
Wars' memory lingers on
A dark reminder
To mankind's oblivion

This solemn image
Constructed with resolution
A monument
To war's terminal conclusion

Cenotaph
