Death and Honor
Death came about through the grace of God,
’twas written for his funeral, his epilogue.
He sacrificed himself for someone he knew not
and honor was in his spirit when he was shot.
’Tis better to die ten thousand deaths
than to die without honor and selfish breaths.
For honor is a builder of man’s self-esteems,
to have it in mind and throughout his dreams.
This man shall be remembered on this very day.
This was written for The Belt and Beyond (Memorial Day Issue)
