The Greatest Victory
By Keith Thomas
How many tears for
three hundred thousand souls
or More
How many For just one soul
What’s the market share A bull or a bear
Which best represents
a crying mother,
father, sister, brother family
how much will the country bare
for all to see a smaller number
the Official Representative compared
to the millions not
crying
not bothered by tears
for three hundred thousand
or more
Even times two is
a great Victory
the greatest that
has ever been
a few hundred thousand souls a graph
for black bags of all sizes
where’s the graph for tears cried
for the hundreds of
thousands
Victory? does it matter
If the tears are young
or old
Tears, for the tomorrows
never known,
glorious sunrises never
seen,
the masked heroes on the front lines
mixed in with the
hundreds of thousands
hidden in a graph, a
curve of time
A hateful high curve
without mercy
celebrated by the Good Jobs
dressed in their finery
as a Victory
with flags mixed in
with the hundreds of thousands
a smaller number
but
good and faithful
servants
all
