Thank You
Does not seem sufficient
To All those that
Attended The Remembrance Service
At London’s Cennotaph
This Morning
Then the Two Minutes Silence
When the Guns in Hyde Park were fired
And the sounds of them rang out
Across London
I have no time for the Royal Family
Or the Politicians
Who laid their wreaths
I cared for all those
That marched past The Cenotaph
And Laid their wreaths in memory
Men and Women who had stories to tell
Old Men and young Men
Stories of bravery
From hard fought battles
From memories of the First World War
To the Second World War, to the Falklands
To the Gulf to Afghanistan
Forgotten Wars like the Burma campaign
Like Korea, Aden, Suez and more
Where hard fought battles took place
And bravery was astounding
Lives lost
How can we forget
We must never forget, ever
Young men who have lost legs/arms/blinded
Young Boys that’s all they are
Yet they are proud of all they done
And rightly so
We should honour them
We should thank them
Not demonstrate when Elections or
Referendums don’t go your way
They gave so much
Suffer so much to this day
Those that came home
We should be proud
Not insult them
They gave their all
For us to have the Freedom
We all enjoy in this Country
And America
Where those demonstrations
Taking place this weekend
Are such an insult to all who fought
In Wars like the forgotten
Vietnam War
Where young men gave so much
To come home and be ignored
They are all heroes
On This Weekend we say a special
Thank You
And Remember them
Remember all the bravery
Of those that died
And those that live in pain
With scars of body and mind
Remember them
Amen. Amen. Excellent post!
