Remember The Fallen

And so this is Christmas

But still the shells fly

Machine guns still rattling

Though no-one's sure why.

Not over by Christmas

We clamoured to go

But still we are fighting

For what? We don't know

Friends falling and dying

In squalor and pain

It's not what they told us

Its all death and rain

Remember us fondly

Lest others forget

The war to end all wars.

Did that happen yet?

Remember the fallen

What the poppy is for

For respecting the dead

Not respecting the war.

Lest We Forget.
