"Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won't. This is what love is." - Cecil Baldwin


Cross upon cross
flag upon flag
Pale, white slabs of stone
poked into the ground.

In the field
Lay a thousand warriors
strong, bold and brave.
They fought for our country,
and paid the ultimate price.

An Exchange to Death
our Freedom has arrived
your lives have departed
Thank you.
