Fallen 13, in the sea of dead. (One shameless president)



13 lives snuffed out for nothing,
13 hearts no longer beat,
13 souls' existence ended,
13 patriots siezed to exist,

13 names must be remembered,
13 met their fate too soon,
13 futures won't be written,
13 sent to die in Kabul,

13 coffins flown home together,
13 honor guards stood straight,
13 pairs of parents grieving,
13 graves for them await.

13 mothers' hearts are broken,
13 fathers lost, in shock,
13 families he insulted,
13 glances at his clock.
