The Last Hill

 THE LAST HILL


The dust of decades

And the soot of past eons

Cover this last hill.

            **********

The dark clouds gather,

Ice and sleet cover this hill,

Yet still, we fight on.

            **********

No one remembers

How long we have fought this war.

Yet still, we fight on.

            **********

No one remembers

Ancient lives when we were young.

Yet still, we fight on.

            **********

No bard sings of us.

No poet writes of this hill.

We are forgotten.

            **********

We are the last hill.

No paradise awaits us.

Yet still, we fight on.
