Make no mistake; do not believe
For soldiers dead I did not grieve.
But then I’m sad humanity
Does not yet have the ‘eyes’ to ‘see’
The reason why we all can kill
By proxy, is we have no will
To find the way to get along
Because we must give up our ‘song’.
No God, don’t try to change my life!
It matters not it causes strife.
It is a life I will defend
But with the life of a dear friend,
A brother, sister, father, son.
I will remember everyone.
Two minutes I will gladly give
To those who die that I may live.
Somehow it just does not seem right
That over ideas we still fight.
I wish we all would volunteer
To give up theories we hold dear.
We then would have to embrace peace.
Remembrance Days would also cease.
A world though that is without hate
Would give us cause to celebrate.
We could rejoice in lives not lost;
In living life without that cost.
We could remember when we found
Togetherness on common ground.
We could recite some poetry
About how pleasant peace can be.
To demonstrate we really care
White poppies on our hearts we’d wear.
