Poem

We war with impunity

And weaponise such things as the 
beauty of flowers

And all for what ?

When come today we have to guard the statues and Cenotaph that commemorate our fallen heroes

Only for them to suffer in death the indignity of being treated with such contempt for the very same right's and freedom they gave their lives for

You student's
You self effacing intellects
You political prophet's

You protest
You gather 
You march
Underneath your slogan or banner 
in righteous indignation of your cause

Such bravery
Such charity
Such courage
Such sacrifice

Once more into the breech
the rallying cry to those
with spray can in hand to vandalize
under the cover of dark with face hidden behind a bandana

I doubt their is anything you would be willing to lay 
your life down for apart from maybe your computer and internet access 

So next time you log on do yourself a favour and research
your family history and see if any of your family members
lost there lives and think there but for the grace of god go i

These statues and monuments are not supposed to justify or glorify war the complete opposite in fact they are
to remind us of the futility and human cost
but most importantly of all the cause Millions of people
deemed worthy dying for

I wonder if year's to come
how you will be viewed by history

Will people gather to commemorate you
build a statue in your honour
be you remembered by a bank holiday 

Or will you hopefully end up instead being a
footnote in a museum

Entitled

When you don't understand your history

And talk before you listen

You run before you can walk
