Sunday is Remembrance Day

With permission from my good friend ,The Blackcab Poet.
O.K. Folks we are all here because of the brave people from the past. The ones who stood up for what they believe in.
This Sunday is Remembrance Day. This is for the fallen.

IN MEMORIAM

Buy a poppy, proudly wear the flower.
Remember them at the eleventh hour.
When we think of the hardship they went through,
Quiet reflection's the least we can do.

Let's bear in mind each selfless sacrifice.
Too many people pay the highest price.
Giving all with courage and conviction,
Through their own volition or conscription.

With dignity these people gave their lives,
Facing bayonets, bullets, bombs and knives.
Two minutes for the unknown soldier's ghost
Cannons salute, the bugler sounds Last Post.

On the line they put themselves everyday,
So those who disagree can have their say.
Pay tribute to them all, alive or slain
So liberty and free speech can remain.
