WHY DID YOU NOT RUN Like thunder, explosions from different sites, Their weapons loaded, death was in their eyes. You saw them marching in the distance my friend, Closing in on you were those who did not know you. Did they leave you there alone, turn their backs and go, Were the men with you smarter, were they pleading With you? It should not have been this way, you were not left To die, No sense can ever be made of this tragedy as I wonder Why? My friend, why did you not run as were coming an Army of guns As I was told you must retreat, why did you remain and wait? I received the news from one at my door that you were No more, The words I heard were that you were brave and a hero, This I would like to believe as you died needlessly. Keith Garrett
