Arlington

Arlington Cemetery.
Been there. Done that.
Changing of the guard
At the tomb of the unknowns.
Kennedy's eternal flame.
Row
After row
After row
After row
After row
Of stone
After stone
After stone
After stone
So many graves
So many war dead.
So many wars.
Been there. Done that.

Arlington Cemetery.
This war.
This soldier.
This grave
In this row.
Bugles,
Bag pipes,
Twenty-one gun salute.
Triangle folded flag presented
To anguished gold star mom.
Wish I couldn't say,
"Been there. Done that."
