UNWED SOLDIER, by                    
First Line: Posterity for him is unsought naught
Last Line: Within him dead his unborn children lie.
Subject(s): Death; Mankind; War; Dead, The; Human Race


Posterity for him is unsought naught.
He dies -- a victim of war's boiling pot.
The force that beggars love, enthroning hate,
To dust consigns him with its glamour-bait,
His forfeiture the heritage of life.
Dead witness of greed's passion-driven strife,
Love is dust -- the dying soldier's cry --
Within him dead his unborn children lie.
