Unburied, left to rot


They lay where they had died
Their flesh now rotted
Not understanding they had no chance to survive
Ambushed by 10 times greater numbers
Turkish cavalry with bow
Shot them down with arrows
Though they bravely stood
And fought there
No came to bury them
No one knew what happened
Over decades they were forgotten
And in due time
They were gone
Dust upon the floor
Of the canyon
