Deserter

On a battle ground forefathers
Were given ranks
Shells and mortars
Artillery
Down in water
Humanity
Underwater
Erased into the wind
Never found again
Sacred history no one wants to need
On this land were raised
Generations
Who fought and paid
For salvation
A heritage
Down in water
A people
Underwater
Everything you chase
Is empty without faith
In people you call home
In the city you call your own
