I am shattered

I have been before

Way to many times

Holding women

And broken men

Sadness filled eyes

Sobbing widows

Another flag

Draped across

Lined up caskets

When will it end

Their homecoming 

A white cross upon a field

I am shattered

Been here before

To many times

A crisp salute

As pipes play

As I scream

Show me where

The glory thrives

Been here before

To many times

I am shattered
