Reminded

To Remember

By Mary BlackPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

We are asked to remember.

War is not a thing to remember, it is a thing to realise.

Look around you, Men and Women walk amongst us that risked it all.

Sacrifice

One day in one month to remember

them all.

Is it over that we need reminded to remember?

Are not our loved ones still saying Goodbye,

Not forced

But choosing to serve.

Are not guns still spitting bullets

Bullets piercing bodies

Bodies littering lands.

Are not soldiers still fighting for freedom

Dying so that we might live.

Is it over that we need reminded to remember?
