Monuments with names of soldiers and battalions and brigades and regiments,
police actions, peace-keeping missions, conflicts, battles and wars.
Cemeteries with ranks of white crosses as far as the eye can see.
A black granite Wall with names and names and names…
and the visitors come and look down where the wall
is one, two, three inches high coming out of the earth
and there is a line of names there
and they think this isn't so much,
and as they walk the trail dips down
and the Wall appears to grow
and the lines of names are higher and higher until
the topmost line is so tall you need
a ladder to reach it, to read it…
