A Poppy abreast,
stamping us all
prisoners of war.
Will there ever
be the day when
there is no Warrior.
The blood red Poppy,
symbol of death, sedation,
pain relief, numbness, remembrance.
Will the poor flower
ever recover, being cast
in a most Heroic role.
I long for the day
when there will be
War no more.
No longer,
any more,
Prisoners of War.

No disrespect intended. My father fought in the Korean War. The only thing he ever said about it was that he was glad to get out of the army and into the air force because he didn't have to march for miles and miles anymore.
