Dragons' teeth protecting

From once a threatening foe

Reminders of a worldwide war

That ended long ago

On banks of round grey pebbles

Behind the sandy beach

Of strife a hard reminder

A lesson here to teach

Today they form just platforms

For obelisks of stone

Why not saluting fallen

Who died for us alone?
