creating meaning

Litany of lost things

The nobility of virtue

The honouring of sacrifice

The nurturing of discipline

The guarding of commitment

The benefits of loyalty

The consequence of transgression

The option of mortality

The absolution of guilt

The competing of the amateur

The ranging of the fertile mind

The abstinence of appetite

The thankfulness of blessings

The cheerfulness of strangers

The safety of the local park

The sharing of tradition

The sanctity of silence.

For the loss of these O people, mourn.

To them we owe

 The debt of peace. What life

now the sacrifice is made?
