A Devil unto Them

Jason Michael Pinsent

Acrostic
A Devil unto Them

We Are where time forgets
Where the past pretends
Unwritten, forgotten in misery
A mystery to history
Born from start to end
We are the valor in the eyes of risen men
We are at the moment of courage
We are legion

- Jason Pinsent 06/11/77


I was thinking a Mel Gibson/ Russel Crowe movie something like When we were soldiers...
