From the years of aviation
to the days of deprivation.
The human race in locomotion
while fires caused commotion
Like the Titanic met its iceberg
Fire took the Hindenburg
The Titans seem to clash
from triumph to a crash
A construction crew on a beam
building structures like a team
Then there were grapes of wrath
before WW11 took us on a path
to an imagined new world order
that would end wars past the border
while there was an evil holocaust
where innocence was somehow lost
Hiroshima gone with the wind with Clark Gable
while soldiers fantasized about Betty Grable
Drunken Ira Hayes at Iwo Jima helped raise a flag
After many a soldier left only a body and dog tag
They probably got a medal with a little cash
To celebrate a victory from triumph after a crash
They found him on a reservation in a ditch face down
Heroes are but legends, it is there spirits that are renowned
