    Lest We Forget

    When the war was over,
    and the fighting had been done
    The people that were left alive …
    realised no one had won.
    So they said that we should learn from this
    and teach our children well
    So they wouldn’t make the same mistakes
    and live through the same hell
    But instead of showing them what was lost,
    they told them what was gained,
    they sang about the hero’s,
    but not the dead and maimed,
    They let them watch the victory films
    and sing the victory song
    Then they watched their sons march off again,
    and wondered where they'd gone wrong.

      I have my thoughtful moments, mainly at about 1 o clock in the morning as I stagger up the hill.
