The Siegfried Line

©2007


Rip―

tattered―

Seemingly overwhelmed,

They're left bare for the buzzards.

The last of his regiment lay

Before him trembling―

They coward in their trenches

Afraid to move. He orders, "Stand tall,

Cross the line―you're fighting phantoms,"

As Allied fire resonance with his words

"You are the Blue Devils!"

"You are the Blue Devils!"
