Unknown Soldier (Part 3) Poem by Kingsley Egbukole
Unknown Soldier (Part 3)
The unknown soldier takes the salute again
Heads in reverence bowed
Beautiful wreaths laid
A minute silence observed
And that's all he gets
Who can redeem this mockery?
Men are still in the battle field
Slaughtering selves with ingenious inventions
While we pay homage to the dead
