The Ballad of the Last

[[intro: We were asigned by one of my teachers to write a ballad... go figure.  It had to be about a war or something...  So... like usual on my poems, I wrote it and made an A+]]



"The Ballad of the Last"



The war lived on, so to speak

So many men were dying

As the men were out to fight

Their wives were back home crying



The guns were fired

The guy was shot

The nurse tried to save him but she couldn't

That was the day never forgot.



The world mourned

As the funral went on

As the folks cried out and said, "Good-bye."

The all knew he had ready gone.



Two years later

The war was now to the end

And as the solider looked around

And then he noticed he missed his friend.



He was all alone on the field

He was lost in the past

He also wanted to know

Why was he the last.



[[outro: Basically the story was about a war.  You're probably thinking that there were only one guy left, right?  No.  In this, I meant; The solider's spirit came back to bid a Farewell... but the war was over.  The soliders went back to their families... so He is left wondering "Why am I the last one?  What happened?"]]

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have my sister to thank for the Spell Check and to make sure it was in correct formatt.  Without her, I would be completely stupid... instead of 1/2 way.
