Memorial

A reflection on Memorial day.

m e m o r i a l m e m o r i a l m e m o r i a l m e m o r i a l
May Eternally Mourns Our Respected Infantrymen Always Lost,
Each motion or ritual is a legacy merited.
Monday opens, reflect inwardly at lowered masts everywhere.
Our relatives in army line murals, excruciatingly missed.
Remembered in amazing lyrics, movie epics, musical opuses...
Individual American lives mortally ending, many orders result.
Another lasting monument erected; marvelous. Only rather insufficient.
Let May's encouraged mourning offer relief intended. Amen.

The top line is an acrostic of memorial, the first letter of each line is an acrostic of memorial, and every line uses the letters in memorial shifted one space, like so:
