Halls of Heroes
written by: Verona Jones
@VeronaJ57
Silent statues stand cold and dead,
metal bodies of all warmth bled
lining walls with spectral bodies
frozen in this hall of heroes.
Past battles memories as fire
upon wooden beds of a pyre.
Legends made now bardic stories
frozen in this hall of heroes.
Fights won with naught a warriors’ will,
concrete swords once made of steel still.
Silence reigning of past glories,
frozen in this hall of heroes.
