A White Poppy

I am not sure what made me write this, It came to me as I was out walking. I have missed Remembrance Sunday but it seems the world is constantly at war.

Imagine what could be done if the resources ploughed into destruction were put into building and eradicating hunger and poverty.

The Red Poppy can be seen as justifying bloodshed; the White Poppy is to signify that we should not fight, a symbol of Remembrance and Peace.

💮🌸🏵️🌸💮💮🌸🏵️🌸💮💮🌸🏵️🌸💮

Shoulder To Shoulder and Side By Side

This is The Way That These Brave Men Died

They Would Walk Down The Paths Of Glory

In Truth Twas A Different Story

💮🌸🏵️🌸💮

Politicians Drink Wine In Safety

Generals Behind Desks Taking Tea

Bankers, Their War Stock Making Money

All Are Smiling, They Find This Funny

💮🌸🏵️🌸💮

Bombs And Bullets And Bayonets Kill

Gas And Bio Weapons Used Until

Financial Institutions Want More

And Say Time To Start Another War

💮🌸🏵️🌸💮

Wear The White Poppy Support The Men

Let's All Stand Firm And Make These Wars End

This film is a superb story of injustice and I borrowed the title for a line in my poem. If you haven't seen it you must watch it.
