Lest We Forget

Lest we erase the database of war that brought "grace" 
Lest we smite wars slight, the one that gave us our "right" 
                       .........
Bow your heads in prayer and wear a poppy with pride    
Bow your heads in prayer and thank them for their stride. 
Lest we forget we have a debt to those we never met
