Let us Remember them
The Heroes and Cowards alike
Those who chose through Birth
Those who chose through love of Country
and those who chose through circumstance
Let us remember those who died
The Soldier's death
There in Trenches cold and grey
where pain and fear wrenched the heart
Death fed hunger
In the noise and light of morning
Blood ran free.......
as the enemy came
And simply think of those
who waited on the order and heard
the whistle of death
in the sky
Think of all who ran
On the order of Empire
To meet bullet
and the hand of eternity
Some died the death of freedom
Some the death of empire
and some died.....
not understanding why
Those now lost to history
Statistics on a page
Those whose souls now search
The Battlefields for a Sign
So let us remember them
The Heroes and Cowards alike
Remembered in Stone and scroll
and those poor souls who
are not remembered at all
