War is a concept of the mind And we might find that humankind May appear to be so blind, people killed as we blink our eyes Dying soldiers lost and found Putting our brothers in the ground So this is our time to remember The heroic men that fought to the end or The ones that died, brave and strong Forced into battle to end the wrong They fought for our freedom for so long They made us feel like we belong Despite the fact that we may feel That war is a pseudo-mechanism for peace We look to the past to change our ways For future peace in later days Our armies keep growing But at the rate we are going We bear witness to what war is showing That war never changes.
My school is having a Remembrance Day poem contest, so I wrote this up in about thirty minutes, just thought I'd share.
