Night the shadow the covers Earth
Black as ashes from the hearth
Crimson be the blood that's shed
From the bodies of the dead
And yet the soldiers still fight on
But for those who die, there is no dawn
Forced to fight and so they die
And yet their leaders do not cry
While our families drown and sink
Our suited leaders sit back and drink
To them our names are words on a page
They don't care, we just pay their wage
So salute your leader and aim your gun
Under them, this is never done.

To those who died and those who are dying R.I.P

I like this poem! As for a title I was thinking of "Never-ending Night" or "Fighting Shadows". The first title name was because the poem has a darkness to it that makes it seem like fight will never be won. The second title was thought up since in reality you can't fight your shadow, kinda like a pointless battle. Well I hope you like either title.
