A Tribute To Our Soldiers

Fare thee well our precious men and boys Marching into war Fighting for a purpose Does anyone know what for As some you return lying down Instead of tall and strong How can we all sit and watch Surely this is wrong Will you buy a poppy Will you shed a tear 13,310 soldiers Killed in 10 years Downing street want to resign Saying it is now the time That's not a victory we know its a crime That's not a victory on the front line The soldiers do their jobs Fighting for our Queen Lets not forget though the military supplies Not the best we have seen A lack of helicopters sent to assist These terrorists could now be missed British soldiers now lost their lives Us army men also lost to their wives We need to help somehow Britain decide what to do The lives of our servicemen around the world Could depend on you Why should we leave this to them in London Town Mp's who don't know what biscuit they like, I frown
