Let Us Remember

Let us remember, lives cut down in their primes
the crimes against humanity, the shame of our times
lets not forget, the blood that wept
like a sea of poppies where the dead slept

let us cry for those whom time wasn't to be an ally
the poor young souls, who never got a chance to fly
their days were numbered, with digits so low
the seconds flew by as those cannons did blow

Millions slaughtered in the names of politicians, dictators and kings
and still to this day the war drum sings
who gave these people the power, to watch from their towers
as the blood grows sour and young men march to their final hours

Lets call for change, no more bombs should rain
no more rounds of machine gun fire should stain
the ground in red, the blood should be spared
its about time the people of this world showed they cared.

We could have a world where our leaders think before acting
where they look for a positive outcome
not a bullet strewn smoky skyline, bomb cratered wasteland
with rivers of red over the fields and sands

Or we could let the leaders fight, put them on the front line
war would be outlawed in double time
Id love to see Trump and Boris sent over the top
into no mans land, how quickly wars would stop
 

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
