Rememberance Sunday U K

Upon the anniversary of soldiers who fought and died
When the moment comes to mark that sacrifice' when
starmer steps and strides, a wreath of treachery to lay
Then watch as the veterans turn.' As they express Britians
Anger, may parliament look and learn.? Learn of love
And loyalty..Of care, And how hearts burn; as they turn.'
Turn just as the ANZACS did.' With their own true blue; about turn!
 Upon the lies and word Salads' also that endless churn' the twisting decieving coercion and scheeming, may the whole
World look and learn.' Although I don't approve of wars
I agree with the feelings inside, and the wish to right the
Ship of state.The right to live, in an 'honest pride' a right' of security, of solidarity
In dignity on all fronts' all backs and sides.!

I know Europe is suffering the same political treachery we are suffering in the states. Yes, I hate wars also (both foreign and domestic) -- God, I image, hates wars -- yet he does seem to side with the Just. Blessings my friend.
