Remembrance Day

Today we remember those who fought in the Wars on our behalf. Those who do not believe in war must still remember that the fought for them too. Most of what we have today has been influenced by the outcome of these wars whether we like it or not. The millions of people who have died may not have had a choice like we do; they may have been drafted to fight. What ever the reasons or circumstance, you may wear to poppy to acknowledge the lost of these lives or the disfiguring of the many others. Those with haunting pains deserve some support.

 

Remembrance Day

 

Red poppies worn to show that we

Empathize with those of the military

Men and women who were in battle slain 

Enemies took their lives and never again

Met with their families

Battled for us and our sovereignties

Remembering those too who where injured

And returned home and though honored

Never got solace when they slept at night

Couldn’t separate themselves from the fight

Even those that survived with no haunting pain

Don’t have the legacy of wartime gain

All those people who chose and went in battle for me

Yes, I’ll give my dollar and I’ll wear a red poppy.
