What has changed over the many centuries
brave men and women volunteer
to serve and fight for their countries in wars
thrust into those endless conflicts
giving their lives souls and many body parts
there after breaking families hearts!
Peace just a word that has been used to entice
those with that pride to protect
the humanity that they are each a small part
who are willing to suffer and die
through shocking hardships and real brutality
yet can man change his mentality?
While those who instigate plans profit stay safe
and weapons from nations kill
those they say their freedom fight to protect
lines are blurred who is the enemy
millions continue to be eliminated on the front line
the end to the butchery no sign!
Another year has come when we remember them
the fallen graves spread over the fields
some its only a name many there is no name at all
giving the ultimate sacrifice their lives
yet nothing changes the unrest continues to grow
the bloodshed ever onward’s doth flow!
I remember those who believed in their loyalty
without question went with pride
hopefully bringing everlasting peace to humanity
through their armed resistance
yet still wait for that moment of world unity
that final end to so much hostility!
In my humility stand silently to remember the fallen!
