Death at 0200
Graduation shouldn’t be marked with casualty lists
Commencement’s happiness blighted by dawn
The quotes from Frost and Lincoln ashes and smoke
“Go forth!” now cancelled by “services pending”
Graduation shouldn’t be marked by
casualty lists
A seat in university taken by another
A summer wedding that will never take place
A name not on the roll at recruit training
Graduation shouldn’t be marked by casualty lists
Of lives ended in the springtime of youth
