Above the beaches of Normandy In ordered rows they lie. They came to fight for freedom, And for that many had to die. They also lie in rows in Libya, In Italy and Greece The soldiers of democracy Who died fighting for the release Of millions locked in a tyranny Oppressed by an evil mind They died so that enlightenment Could guide the future of mankind. And in the East many more Monuments stand in memory Of the many millions of bravehearts Who died in the fight to be, Rid of the monstrous evil gang And their racist and murderous ideaology, Which planned genocide for these people In order to steal their whole country. And here we are almost seventy years Since the end of that terrible war Looking at election results which ask What was all that dying for? People in free democracies purchased With those millions of victims blood Have voted for the same ideaology That will trample in the mud All the freedoms for which they fought And for which they gave their lives It is as if history has never been taught And that sheer ignorance above all else,thrives.

The Demeaning of Democracy.
Above the beaches of Normandy In ordered rows they lie. They came to fight for freedom, And for that many had to die. They also lie in rows in Libya, In Italy and Greece The soldiers of democracy Who died fighting for the release Of millions locked in a tyranny Oppressed by an evil mind They died so that enlightenment Could guide the future of mankind. And in the East many more Monuments stand in memory Of the many millions of bravehearts Who died in the fight to be, Rid of the monstrous evil gang And their racist and murderous ideaology, Which planned genocide for these people In order to steal their whole country. And here we are almost seventy years Since the end of that terrible war Looking at election results which ask What was all that dying for? People in free democracies purchased With those millions of victims blood Have voted for the same ideaology That will trample in the mud All the freedoms for which they fought And for which they gave their lives It is as if history has never been taught And that sheer ignorance above all else,thrives.
