The Hero's

100 Years to the day

We remember the hero’s

Who left behind a nation of widows

Their sacrifice such a price to pay

 

We sit behind our computers and judge

While the hero's dragged dead bodies through the sludge

The hero's faced the horror of the trenches

The hero's ghosts now reside on manorial benches

 

From the sky's on London to the battle of the Somme

The brave young hero's fought so very strong

We must not glorify war

But instead question what did the hero's die for?

 

War is still in the news

With so many more young lives still to loose

To this day war remains a constant threat

100 years on lest we forget
