The Poppy
It`s just a little flower
painted red and green
it reminds us of our Veterans
both the living and the dead

In the year of thirty nine
young men went off to war
some of them came back
others will return no more

These young mengave their lives
so freedom they coud save
now they`re buried over there
in the unknown soldiers grave

it is now november and 
thoughts they turn to snow
but lets remember Flanders Fields
wher the poppies grow...

Unknown Soldiers
Just beneath a grassy meadow
That one time was a battlefield
Lies the bones of two unknown men
Still clothed in their tattered fatigues
in a shallow unnatural grave.
Unnatural because if buried
With the customary honors
There would have been two separate
grave sites with much deeper holes.
One of the uniforms was gray
In color, the other one blue.
It’s fair to assume that both men
Prayed to god for his own safety
But god does not take sides in war....
