Cenotaph

Alone you stand – The final parody
 Destined to silence – memorial to mortality 

 Carved in stone – tribute to the dead
 For nameless victims – Whose litany is unread 

 Never Forgotten – War's memory lingers on
 dark reminder – To mankind's oblivion 

 This solemn image – [bad word] with resolution
 monument – To war's terminal conclusion
