Trinket Soldiers
A shiny bauble on your wrist
To tinkle and shine on display
To evoke intriguing questions from your guests
An accessory of sorts
Worn to compliment your attire
Inanimate objects to wear and
Dispose of at a moment’s whim
No thought of the accessory’s worth
Easy to replace
A watch or ring has more value
In its gold alone
The disposable item of flesh and bone
Cogs for the war machine
The conveyor line full of extras
With workers ready to assemble the replacements
Made in the USA
Value high during warring days but
Lost and forgotten in the jewelry case
When peace reigns true
