ODE TO MARTYN (Martyn Compton, Lance Corporal)
I looked at the screen
I saw your face
disfigured by fire - by war.
I looked at the screen
I heard you speak
made stronger by war
I looked at the screen
and screamed at the set
why again, how many more?
This is a look I have seen before.
Identity blurred not diminished
the fire in your eyes.
Martyn the man
Like so many before
victims of war.
Soldering - governments demand.
Then government must pay.
Love Granny
