The Red and the White

It is hard to see all the hurt that was done in wars that went before, Red poppies help and say that we will remember them but seem to imply that wars will carry on. Above all it seems we do not remember them. To remember them we must turn our backs on war then we really remember them. They say that white poppies stand for peace more, that they do not stand for war I want most of all that we make a tudor rose a kind of poppy thing with red and white. Two flowers together a small white upon a larger red. This pleads to stop all wars and show what hurt went on before and that many fought who did not want. Let us remember not to send our people out to fight. Let us remember them before they go. We will remember them.

Paddi Yes, it is something that man hopes for but can never achieve. All animals share the syndrome. The why is left to the Creator. Allan
