I once found a picture
In a faraway place
In the background
There is a war base
Its dusty edges
Reveal many years
Of lonesome sorrow,
Blood, sweat, and tears.
A whiff of old perfume
Lingers in the air
Of the black and white picture
That could give you a nightmare
Centuries ago,
In times of war
This picture was held
But the souls are no more.
