RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WAR
Memorial
A day of remembrance
For those we lost in war
We remember their sacrifice
Their loved ones will mourn
And all of us will wonder
What might or could have been
If not for the blunders
Of so many powerful men
For wars are a matter of choice
That the powerful will make
When they cannot find a voice
That war would forsake
We remember the bravery
Of those who chose to fight
Against evil and slavery
Through the darkest of nights
They offered their lives
To protect and defend
So that others might thrive
For the greater good of men
This day we remember
And we remember them well
We lower the flags
And ring the church bells
