This is defea...On a Lost Battle in the Spanish War<br /><br />This is defeat of a sort.<br />Whoever wins now, these have lost.<br />These have seen faces of bad dreams<br />Look at them down a leveled gun,<br />And nothing has broken the dream nor woken.<br /><br />These who died at Badajoz<br />Will be dead when men who shot<br />Their brothers, Fascists, foreign tools<br />Are nothing; when across the world<br />The people stand on victory.<br /><br />These saw the cities race with flame,<br />The friendly streets run blood,<br />The walls fall, the ignorant<br />Murder the honest, and whatever happens<br />They will not see the rest.<br /><br />They have no immortality<br />But what their dying works in us.<br />Blood does not cry to heaven, nor take<br />Its own revenge when they are dead.<br />By their agony the living learn to fight.<br /><br />Margot Heinemann.Loamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17339350574917360205noreply@blogger.com
