REMEMBERANCE:
It matters not, World wars 1 & 2, Boer war,
Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan, Civil wars all over the word, & a long list of
etc´s, etc´s, etc´s. To our shame, & for whatever insane reasoning man
gives for the excuse to go to war, it has been so since the beginning of time,
so it´s about time we stopped. Today I am sitting in a field in Flanders, it is
1915, & the sun is rising. The steam from my cup of rich, sweet tea rises
to meet the morning mists as I sit & remember every man, woman, child &
animal whom have lost their lives to conflict, whether as soldier, or civilian,
they are all heroes. The sun rises red on the horizon, & the swaying
scarlet poppies wave in greeting, & in the breeze I hear the whisperings of
long gone men. Here is a poem by John McCrae:
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; & in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid guns below

It has been said that if women were in charge of world governments there would no longer be endless wars and countless casualities. Reading your words, I believe that to be true.
