Today I remember
People whose blood feeds battle fields
To fight hate and intolerance
The innocent put in harms way
And an innocence forced to be lost
For someone else’s fight
The human and animal cost of war
And what it is still costing
That those fought where people too
With blood that’s much like ours
And a loss not any less felt
Today I remember
Those who can not fight
Daily wars of hate and violence
Whilst others risk all to keep them safe
An endless fight but they’re still fighting
But what I remember most, upon this day
Is that war is pretty pointless
Unless you remember the lessons learnt
