So many do die this horrid day
In the fields and plains where I use to play
So many claimed by this raging fray
The murderers, the killers so many they slay
The priests – and sinners, they do they pray
A gunshot, a body, and the peace it pays
The death bringers march extending their stay
Nothing, not death, will keep them at bay
A cry, a shout, and a world turns gray
The death of a child, what more can I say
A land lost to murder, living life cast astray
So this place lay in shambles cast aside to decay
Remembrance not justified, a dismissed act in a play
A lie brought to life leaving mourners to pay
Remembrance all but forgotten putting a fallacy on display
This debt on no ones shoulders, ought never to repay
Look back now to the haunting days made eve of May
Think now what message do history relay
Influencing our minds like master molding clay
You alone and by yourself know exactly where the bodies lay
Forget not the chiding songs of the jay
Nor the brave men dying for us that day

I realize I used play and day twice... I just couldn't of other lines that wouldn't sound forced.. and it has come to my attention that my message is obscure... there really isn't any one message, just people die in the name if freedom... maybe... a poem really is whatever you interpret it as.
As always,

Re: no title
The rhyming effect was executed wonderfully.
